Trigger events from inactive subsystems regardless of the number of subsystems displayed by the active subsystems widget

The client has 63 subsystems that we cannot monitor because the Instana metric only shows the top 20 assets, which means that events are not generated when the subsystem is not among the 20 that Instana captures. The solution is for Instana to all...
