PerformanceGuard® 7.6 Release Notes

Release date: 2020, January 28th

What's New in the Server?

Chromium Based Web measurements

PG now supports both Chrome and Edge (Chromium-based) measurements. The setup of filters has been improved and simplified to make the configuration less error-prone.

The agent-installer has also been updated to make sure that the plugin needed is automatically installed in the browser when it is started.

Debugging facilities have been added to facilitate the configuration of the filters

Fullscreen Widgets

It makes it possible to blow up (using) small widgets to use the whole browser window, in order to see all the details.

Relational Dashboards

Relational Dashboard is a feature that provides the end-user with easy navigation to the next relevant dashboard, continuing with the same set of parameters as the board he was already using.

Dashboard Edit

To simplify working with multiple dashboards, which is very easy due to the new Relational Dashboard feature, the web-browser tabs now show the name of the dashboard present, and a pencil to indicate if the Dashboard is being edited or is being viewed.

SSL support in the installer

SSL is used to enable secure communication between web servers and the web interface. SSL is now directly supported during installation and upgrade. Simply point to the certificate file and enter the password and the installer will do the work.

Before PG 7.6 you needed to set this up manually by modifying the appropriate configuration files. 

When upgrading from 7.5 you still need to backup your SSL installation and reapply it after the upgrade.
