Known Issues

23.8 Agent Known Issues

Agent

Summary

Database Agent

In the Metric Browser, the keys of one Database Collector get displayed under other Database Collectors.

For example, keys of Database Collector 1 can appear under Database Collector 2, even if the keys are not part of the Database Collector 2 query output.

This issue occurs when you create a custom metric that runs on multiple databases and returns multiple key-value pairs. In such scenarios, only the keys get duplicated, not the metric values.
