Capture custom HTTP response headers

Background and context A feature we use heavily with Instana is the ability to capture custom HTTP request headers. This gives us a great ability to analyse the data, slice and dice based on filters and groups on headers. A couple of simple exampl...

Support configurable duration for DFA and RSD Slope-based Policy Conditions

The current fixed duration for DFA and RSD is too short to include Triggering on longer persistent behavior, like low Slope (e.g., flatlining when not at 0% or 100% utilization) Supporting up to the standard 2-hour duration setting would improve t...

DI Report Section Navigation - Manage when section count overflows the browser/screen width

To avoid splitting related content into additional Reports, a more intuitive way to visually support more Report Sections than fit in the browser width is needed. Current "scroll-wheel" functionality is not intuitive and not portable among differe...

We currently have a few use cases that mean we need to create an App Perspective that filters on a tag that is set on a child span of a parent span i.e. deeper within the code (we cannot pass it back up to the parent call). We create SLI metrics f...
