My hompepage / index page is showing only as a trailing slash in my google analytics
Now if I did not know any better I would say this is an indication that their is a miss configuration with a 301 on htaccess or canonical on the index page? Or is this not necesarily the case.
My preffered version is example.com with a 301 setup from example.com and in my index page I have <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com." />
MY QUESTION
Is this trailing slash which shows for the home page a possible sign of miss configuration on my part?
Thanks for taking the time to read

No. That is completely normal.
It is something like the request for example.com being appended with an / as part of the standards. Browsers add the / to the request if the original request is www.example.com (URL) without a file path and/or resource (URI). It is simply completing the request with the minimum assuming that a default document is what is required by the user.
The / in GA is simply a request without index.html or any other file name.
