Will renaming a .html file cause issue?

[DStockland]

Hello!

We have an app team that is looking to change the name of a .html file at the root level on some servers.  I wanted to double check it won't break anything or cause issue.

example:  Bigtest.html > Littletest.html

I appreciate your time and answers!

Hi @DStockland 

If your frontend application references or tries to find this .html resource with a specific name in any of its flows, changing the file name might lead to an increase in user actions with 4xx errors due to the resource not being found. Although your frontend application might handle this exception, the error could still be captured by the agent and mark the user action as a failure. This could impact two key areas of alerting:

1. Increased User Action Failure Rate
2. Degradation of the Apdex (user experience) score for your application, especially if the reference to the missing file or resource is frequent.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
