When constructing the metric identifier the key should be > included as well, resulting in the same result as when constructing the > metric groups tree via {{group.addGroup(key).addGroup(value)}}. > For this a new {{KeyedGenericMetricGroup}} should be created that resembles > the unkeyed version, with slight modifications to the constructor and > {{getScopeComponents}} method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
