PINNED Need documentation on how to uninstall Instana for K8 and Docker self hosted installation

Large resource statuses to load a small subset of status event and allow user to page between them to improve performance. So if a resource has more than 30 (user configurable) statuses against it, it would load the first 30 and provide an option to page between additional pages containing the next 30 etc.

Currently if a resource has lots of statuses against them then opening the status view can sit there for ages before loading or giving up and throwing an error. By limiting the number shown and allowing the user to step through additional status r...

A more robust Impact cluster failover is needed as the current heartbeat to nameserver primary is not sufficient

Currently, if the Primary Impact server is "crippled", meaning it is still up but is no longer able to process work, it can respond to heartbeat ping requests from the cluster members, causing the cluster members to think they do not need to assum...
