Fix – AppDynamics

  • We changed the naming format for nodes when using AppDynamics metrics. When the instance is added to the node name, we now use a hyphen instead of an underscore. So node_1 becomes node-1. This is in line with AppDynamics naming conventions.

Improvements

    The Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security service that protects applications from malicious and unwanted internet traffic without modifying your application code.

    • Server-side request forgery
    • Local File Inclusion
