Duplicated calls in long-term storage

When you examine a trace in detail, calls of that trace might get copied to long-term storage and are retained for more than the seven-day full retention period. This copying process creates several duplicate calls of the actual call. These duplicate calls might cause incorrect figures in the Sub calls KPI and the Service Endpoint List section of trace details. These duplicate calls might also distort the results for other analysis of traces and calls when you use selective filters and view data that is older than the seven-day full retention period.

The issue is now fixed. However, you might still encounter this issue in rare edge cases. In addition, KPI indicators and Service Endpoint List of the trace details view are now enhanced to deduplicate calls. Therefore, KPI indicators and Service Endpoint List display correct results for data that is duplicated.

Metric catalog layout

The layout of the catalogs within the following categories was broken:

• Application
• Websites
• Mobile

Now, the outer pane width matches the size of the metrics.

Website page name not detected with eum.min.js

Previously, the minified JavaScript eum.min.js 1.7.1 did not detect page name when you called the autoPageDetection API with the titleAsPageName parameter. Now, the issue is fixed in JavaScript agent 1.7.2.
