Expected Middleware instance status derived from configuration

A host may contain one or more application servers (WebSphere, Liberty, Tomcat, JBoss), and all configured instances for each of them are expected to be running. Instana only creates entities when it detects them running and does not inspect middl...

Implement Custom Roles & RBAC Control via Entity/Tag

This would benefit all users of Turbonomic by allowing administrators to define custom roles, as well as the permissions applied to these roles either globally or by entity/tag and their respective child objects. This would enable application owne...

Enable Memory Profiling for .NET Applications

Instana currently provides .NET CPU profiling, but memory-related issues are often equally important when troubleshooting application performance. Adding memory profiling for .NET would help identify memory leaks, excessive allocations, object ret...

Enhancing the RUM(Real User Monitoring) of Instana by the feature like Dynatrace's Visual Complete.

Currently, Instana’s "onLoad time" metric does not include XHR (XMLHttpRequest) or fetch requests that occur after the initial page load. The "onLoad time" is specifically defined as the time from fetchStart to loadEventEnd according to the browse...

It would be desirable if multiple currencies could be handled by one Turbonomic

Currently, only one currency symbol can be set, so if AWS (USD) and Azure (Yen) are mixed, it will be confusing. Each time, we create a group just for AWS and refer to that dashboard, which is cumbersome.

Support Reporting for Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) Multiple Billing Profiles

Lots and lots of customers are migrating from EA to MCA agreements and one of the features of this migration is to define billing profiles as part of the allocation methodology. Currently Cloudability cannot report on cost and usage based on these...

Need Unlimited time for Topological path correlation

A North American Tier 1 Telco Customer has requested that for a topological path correlation, it must not be time bound as its possible that alarms come in beyond the 5 hours time window which is the current constraint.  We need a configurati...

Enable IBM Netcool Probes to return command execution responses synchronously directly to the Telnet/SSH CLI session when using the passthru command, rather than only writing the output to the probe log files.

Why is it useful? Currently, when a user or automation script connects to the probe's CLI via Telnet or SSH (e.g., port 7001) and issues a command to a network element (like passthru -tid <Target_ID> -msg "<TL1_command>"), the probe ex...
