Fixed In:
16.0.0

Opened: Dec 11, 2019

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

When using GenericMessage with no-response enabled, the messages are considered neither requests nor responses, but they are being counted as responses in the message stat counters.

Impact

Confusing logging of no-response messages as responses may spark concern over the lack of corresponding request messages logged in the stats.

Conditions

Using Generic Message with no-response enabled, sending messages, and viewing the stats produced.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information
