Feature to change Instana metrics granularity / polling interval

There is a 1s granularity hard-coded in Instana. That is for example for host metrics and JVM etc. It would be great if we could increase the granularity at will in UI admin settings and at agent-level in configurations. For performance related re...

zCentric Agent Installation as root

We are trying to remove reliance on root to install our TWS agent. However, after installation, there is the error - the userid used to install TWS can't impersonate to the proid which we used to run the job. We are attempting to mitigate root acc...

Add support for MSSQL instances

Currently, any multi-tenant setup on SQL (aka SQL Instances) is not supported. The request is to add support - and the ideal solution would be to allow Turbo to enumerate all SQL instances via the SQL Server Browsing service.

Infrastructure Map too slow

Our Instana has a lot of agents and the Infrastructure Map is not usable. It takes ages to load. We would like to have a solution to this problem, what about having a filter which let us show less agents in the Infrastructure Map? With such a filt...

Anomaly detection on issues

When an unusual amount of issues have occured (for an entity) it would be good to assure this boils up somehow. I.e. if CPU usage or memory exhaustion happens more frequently than usual (on a host) the user should be able to be informed pro-active...

Expose PHP FPM connectionResets metric

Currently it is not possible to add a custom event based on the connectionResets FPM metric. This would be important to us as the limits set by the default "Too many connections reset" FPM event are too low and we would like to customize it.

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...

Grafana Data Source Alert Management

Using the Grafana data source for Instana does not allow creating alerts. It would be really useful to be able to manage alerts from Grafana where we already have dashboards with built-in metrics and custom metrics (ie: StatsD).
