Autoprofile support when using the instana lambda extension

We instrument our node based AWS lambdas by using the instana lambda extension. If technically feasible, it would be nice to have support for AutoProfile when using this sensor.

Add the request body while tracing in instana

In the tracing view, Instana does not collect any Request Body data/payload on a POST request. Header and Parameters are collected, but not the Body. it would be nice to add the request body so traces become more efficient

AWS SQS 2.1.x / Spring Kafka >= 3.1 / Apache Kafka Clients 3.3.x not supported by Instana Java Sensor

One of our teams found out that a lot of framework support in the instana JVM sensor is outdated. Our teams using Kafka and Aws can not use instana at the moment for monitoring their services, since the traces with those frameworks:- AWS SDK 2.x--...

Support for jboss logging version 3.4.1 without programmatic API

Source address to traces/calls
