• the following third party component upgrade:

  Component	Previous Version	Upgraded Version
  MSSQL driver	9.4	10.2.4

  Note:

  In MSSQL driver 10.2.4 version, the default value of encrypt changes to true in the JDBC connection properties. Hence, if you want to configure a database collector without encryption, you must set the value of encrypt to false.

  In case you want to retain the value of encrypt as true in the JDBC connection properties,

  • you must also set the value of trustServerCertificate to true
  • or, set the following JVM args while starting the Database Agent:
    CODECopy

    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\example\storeName -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=storePassword

    -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\example\storeName

Your browser applications may use GraphQL to efficiently fetch data. Starting with this release, the Controller enables monitoring of GraphQL operations on your browser applications. In the Controller UI, requests will display the path appended with the GraphQL operation name, for example, /api/graphql/getAllPosts.

To use custom headers, update and inject the JavaScript Agent script to enable GraphQL monitoring. For detailed instructions, see Monitor GraphQL Operations on Browser Applications.
