Add "Cluster Tags" to VM group creation

Currently there is not a way to create VM groups based on its cluster tag. This feature would provide a great way to create dynamic groups based on something we can extract from vCenter from other use cases. For example, say I have a supercluster ...

ITM LO agent dedup feature integrated with Instana

We have integrated ITM LO agent to forward the events to Instana agent; however, we found that the deduplication feature that the LO agent has is not integrated with Instana. For example, in ITM, we can dedup based on the Key attributes such as Cu...

Add an "at least" option to go up to maximum when scaling up and down to minimum when scaling down
