Track metadata on when a policy was created, modified and by who

Currently there is nowhere in the policy list to see who created it, when it was created, when it was modified or who the culprit is. This type of basic logging would be very useful when you have hundreds of people active in the tool at the same t...

Breakout list of user-defined policies into entity type to match the list provided in the group management UI

Current groups are broken out by VM, Account, DB, etc. In policies they are only grouped by imported, user defined, etc. Would be more useful to add sub sections by policy type: VM, Volume, etc.

Allow a way to Save As New a copy of an existing group, schedule or policy object

Allow for a group, policy, or schedule to be duplicated. Save As New. Keep all current settings allowing the user to first edit the one variable that needs to change and then save to create it. This would significantly speed up the scoping pre-wor...

Currently the Minimum Observation Period max is 7 days. (you may need a couple weeks or month minimum to stabilize a workload). The Max Observation Period jumps from 30 days to 90 days. A happy medium in between like 45/60days would probably help ...

Correlation Between AWS RDS and AWS Lambda Native Tracing

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.

Have Turbonomic ignore DRS constraints if DRS is turned off on the cluster

I have some move policies that are failing to produce actions due to a restriction on "Segmentation Commodity" type constraint, built off of DRS rules imported from vCenter. However, even after I turned DRS off, it is still restricting the VMs eve...
