Hi - Understanding that these fields were just recently added to the instance of IT Planning, and is a very welcome update. We would like these fields added to the processing, when publishing plans from IT Planning to CT. These fields will help identify updates made to our metadata.

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...
