Define custom alert for MQ Last put time like IBM APM

We have similar event in IBM APM solution and Instana is collecting the same metrics but cannot define custom alert on the same (Last put time not showing in custom alert). Instana infrastructure don’t support to use non metrics data(numeric) as c...

Add email in CC as alert channel

Operation team keeps tracks of who is receiving the alert, at the moment once there is an alert, single emails are sent to each email. It would be preferable to have a main email and a list of emails in CC.

Threshold on the same metric twice within the same

Customers need the ability to threshold on the same metric twice within the same Event. It is VERY common for customers to want to setup two different Events (1 warning and 1 critical). They way they achieve that is something like the following: W...

Better UI for Smart Alerts and Alert channels

We have discovered that without a rigid and detailed naming convention for smart alerts (including global smart alerts), we are encountering many issues as administrators to figure out which alerts are being fired, and which ones belong to which A...

Instana should warn when a cluster or node is unscheduleable due to pod limits

In the OCP Console, there is a warning when a nodes node's available resources are exceeded by the limits of the running workloads, making the node unschedulable. Right now it is possible to show on a custom dashboard that the limits/available is ...

Adaptive Threshold for Erroneous Calls - Global Smart Alerts

Allow to alert only on new, unique errors

For front-end browser errors in particular, it would be very helpful to receive alerts for new errors, which are unique based on their error message and source code position. Instana already contains the concept of unique JavaScript errors based o...

Custom scheduling of instana alert
