Description

Good afternoon.

We have started using Dexter to extract data for key event days as this appears to be the tool of choice referenced in the documentation.
We have turned on all applicable extraction settings applicable to our environment (attached).
The idea is to capture as much information over a given time period for review later (after the data retention for the various metrics may be exceeded).

What we've noticed is that the resulting output files have some broken links and any png references in the files are broken because not a single png appeared to be exported from Dexter (when the whole output directory was searched for *.png).

Some examples
ApplicationDashboards.html - appears to have links to some dashboard files which redirect to a link like:
file:///.../Report/.saas//SCRN/APP/dashboard.png
While we see the folder up to file:///.../Report/.saas/
[DefaultJob_Master - Copy.txt](https://github.com/Appdynamics/AppDynamics.DEXTER/files/11287606/DefaultJob_Master.-.Copy.txt)
there is no associated SCRN folder below it and dashboard.png is not found anywhere else (as mentioned above no pngs are found whatsoever).

It looks like the last updates to the tool have been over 2 years ago and I'm wondering if this why some functionality is broken?
If there an ETA on the next release/update?

Thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached DefaultJob_Master.-.Copy.txt configuration and the generated ApplicationDashboards.html output. Reproduce the export with the reported extraction settings, then trace how dashboard links and PNG files are produced. Done means the expected SCRN/dashboard.png files are exported and the generated HTML links resolve within the output directory.
