Enable the customization of fields for alerts coming from Instana in Watson AIOps, so that custom payloads and additional data can be fully utilized in direct integrations.

Currently, when integrating alerts from Instana into Watson AIOps, there is a critical limitation: only a set of predefined fields are transferred, and important custom information contained in Instana's custom payloads is not mapped or visible in...

Allow Probes to add dynamic custom fields to alerts in Watson AIOps that are visible in the details section.

n Netcool OMNIbus, it was possible to manually create new fields in the database (alerts.status) via insert operations, and then populate them through Probe rules. This allowed operators to enrich events with custom business-relevant data directly...
