If users happen to run agents both with and without this fix (for same or different languages), the same S3-buckets can appear twice in the service map (with and without s3-prefix).

[[release-notes-6.0.0]]

[float] ===== Breaking changes

• Python 2.7 and 3.5 support has been deprecated. The Python agent now requires Python 3.6+ {pull}1021[#1021]
• No longer collecting body for elasticsearch-py update and delete_by_query {pull}1013[#1013]

If you are using a non-default sanitize_field_names, surrounding each of your entries with stars (e.g. *secret*) will retain the old behavior. {pull}982[#982]
