Bug Fixes

Removed extra message on action validation error

An extra generic error was shown in all cases if the validation step in an action threw an error, using the attribute function error(). This is not needed - in fact, is annoying for users, since this is not a true configuration error - it will be notification to users that the data they have entered into a form is in some way, according to the business rules of the application, incorrect. These extra error messages have been removed.

Fix to directed pipes

Resolved an error in database collectors which resulted in files that were never closed; these open files would then build up until the number exceeded a system-wide limit. This issue particularly affected directed pipes.

Fix to performance stats logging

Resolved an error in performance statistics logging which resulted in no stats being logged.
