Alert

metric or api endpoint for sent alerts

Currently there's only a fuzzy way to get the amount of sent out alerts, and even only for smart alerts. As alerting is a very crucial and important feature (when used), it should be easier to figure out how many alerts had been sent in the past (...

Add a new time option for configuring an Event

The only current time option is the "time window". It would be much appreciated if there is another time option to specify the time for which an event will only trigger if the conditions are met continually during that time. For instance, if we se...

Multiple email sender address for Instana Alerts

monitor and alert for kubernetes job failures
