Provide a comprehensive and correct sensor version/release/tag list for a static agent package

Hi,

While debugging some .NET tracing issue a constant source of confusion and irritation was/is the versioning and tagging system.

Each part of the agent has at least one independent version or release number which is not listed in a comprehensive list that allows us to see with one glance if we deployed the correct agent package with all the necessary minimum release numbers.

Additionally the "Sensors Information" button on the agent dashboard is not showing the correct release version (e.g. with a CLR tracer on a Windows box it shows release "1.1.9" while the documentation claims that the current release is "1.315.5" - those 2 versions are not even in the same range. We needed to rely on the information in the agent logs as the only source where we could see what was actually used.

We would need a information page about a static/air gapped agent release version with a complete and correct list of versions/releases/tags for all bundled sensors.

Many thanks and regards,

Rainer
