New Releases and Updates

FusionReactor 9.2.1 update released
If you're using FusionReactor, note that a new 9.2.1 update was released last week, Jan 31, with a couple of bug fixes--including one where you may need to add a JVM arg to prevent an error, in a certain case as I will discuss.

• FR8397 Bug: Fix total requests (last 60 seconds) amount in Web Metrics page.
• FR8398 Improvement: Add property to disable CF query monitoring for Redis cache when property is set to false (set to true by default).
• FR8399 Bug: Fix event snapshots no longer being sent to the cloud.
