Updated Synthetic installer to use JRE 17.0.10

Digital Experience | Synthetic Monitoring

To take advantage of recent performance improvements, security enhancements, and bug fixes, we've upgraded JRE to JRE 17.0.10.

SNMP datasource reports empty-value indexed dimensions

Infrastructure Monitoring | SNMP

The SNMP datasource, instead of dropping empty-value indexed dimensions, now reports them with an n/a value similar to scalar dimensions, allowing filtering metrics by empty dimensions.

Installing or updating ActiveGate on Linux
