Known Issues
23.11 Agent Known Issues
| Agent | Summary |
|---|---|
| Hosted Synthetic Agent | Some pages fail to return their Visually Complete Time and visually complete screenshots. This issue occurs when you create scripted jobs using Chrome version 117. |
The Visually Complete Time is not captured for webpages that have less load. Also, visually complete screenshots are not displayed for these webpages. | |
| IBM Integration Bus Agent | The 23.11 agent does not report metrics to Controller versions 23.9 and 23.11. We recommend upgrading to Controller 23.12. Alternatively, you can upgrade the IIB agent to version 24.2.0. |
| Java Agent | The agent reports too many events to the Controller which causes the Controller to drop events randomly. We recommend upgrading to Java Agent 23.12.0 to resolve this issue. |
