May I know what is the timeline for the 6.3 release? Thanks. This feature allows me to set up multiple dotnet-monitor on a machine for exporting different Dotnet app metrics.

I don’t have a specific date, but we plan to have it available this month. You can monitor the releases as it will be published there when it becomes available.
