PerformanceGuard® 7.2 Release Notes
Release date: 2017, June 29th
What's New in the Server?
This release introduces one new widget:
BTM
This widget Makes it easy to graphically compare metrics for Business Transaction Monitoring (BTM) across individual computers and locations.
Miscellaneous Improvements
Pass through
Avoids the inconvenience of logging in multiple times to get acces to the Classic PerformanceGuard interface
Deeplinking
Makes it possible to copy a URL of a dashboard and paste this into a mail to be sent to another operator with all paramters of the dashboard stored in the link
CORS
Makes it possible to have 3rd parties embedding PerformanceGuard.
DropWizard Metrics
Internal monitoring of the PG service using standard measurements API.
REST versioning
The REST interface for PerformanceGuard is public interface and versionized the interface. This ensures that code made by third parties using the interface will remain operational even if PerformanceGuard is upgraded and the REST interface is changed.
Complete list of ProcessNames
It is now possible to watch and select all measured processes.
Browser Support
This version is supported in both Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 as well as Google Chrome.
