Allow users to change the pre-defined severity of a built-in event and allow to change the related metric thresholds

There is a bunch of built-in events, but in some cases users won't agree with the severity level of the events or the selected metric thresholds. Please allow users to change these in built-in events. Seems like something that should have been pos...

Subject line of email alerts

We use several onprem backends. All alerts sent by Instana have an email-subject with prefix “[Instana]”. How can we modify that and/or add a label reflecting the backend-name, e.g. “[Instana-Prod1]” or “[Instana][Prod2]”?

Change log for Agent/Sensor Updates
