Add profiling information to Traces/Spans

Some other vendors like Datadog include profiling information (e.g. CPU hotspots, CPU lock contention, ...) to the Traces/Spans.This is very valuable information in case of troubleshooting.Are there any plans to support such a feature in the near ...

Add support for Memory allocation rate for .NET Core, Java, PHP, Ruby

The Instana profiling documentation states for which technologies Instana currently supports Memory allocation rate (Golang, Node.js, Python). The following are missing .NET Core, Java, PHP, Ruby. Link to documentation: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en...

Display summarized mainframe CPU consumption of all JDBC calls to Db2 on z/OS of a single frent-end request, and Instana dashboard can sort by this summarized CPU time.

Mainframe CPU consumption is critical data for application monitoring, currently Instana on z/OS can collect CPU time from SMF data for each JDBC call to Db2 on z/OS and all these data have been sent to Instana. It will be very valuable and helpfu...

Improve EUM Page Load View - Add Script Type Labelling for Calls pre Page Load Completion

All calls that are processed before the page load has been completed are being labelled "OTHER" instead of their actual type. Can they be retroactively analysed and labelled correctly instead? Please see added screenshots for reference.

Missing mount point monitoring

Dear colleagues, our customer monitors mount success with Tivoli Monitoring. They seek for transition to Instana, so they're interested in implementation of analogs of what they use in ITM. Below is the example of such ITM situation: *IF *SCAN KLZ...

Need to monitor Durable queues

Dear colleagues, our customer monitors Durable queues with Tivoli Monitoring in a way we can't replicate in Instana. They seek for transition to Instana, so they're interested in implementation of analogs to what they use in ITM. Below are the dif...

Queue triggers missing for threshold creation

Dear colleagues, In Instana we miss several Queue triggers to replicate a situation our customer uses in Tivoli Monitoring. They seek for transition to Instana, so they're interested in the parameter implementation. Below are the different example...
