Group nodes of a redis cluster in service view

We're using redis-cluster to run redundant scaleable redis services. However calls traced by java instrumentation are not mapped to a redis-cluster but to a specific redis instance. This means that redis calls for a specific redis cluster are dist...

Add (java) context to logs

We're currently writing java logs with logback/slf4j. Using the logstash ArgumentsJsonProvider in our logback.xml this allows us to extend the log message with context information like stack_traces, logger_name, log level but also custom informati...
