    Details about pipelines and releases

    Right now in Instana we can manage releases via APIs and can see them via the time picker. But we cannot see details about the release: how long did it take, what it changed (broke), etc. This idea is to enhance the pipelines / release CI/CD suppo...

    Customization of trace analytics columns

    Right now when looking at traces in the Analytics page there's only 3 columns: Service, Timestamp and Latency. This idea is to be able to customize this list to include other attributes and thus modify the sort order.

    Time-rage per widget

    All widgets in Instana's custom dashboard follow the same time-rage (from the top right corner of the UI). This idea is for each widget to be able to override this time range.

    Non-root installation of Instana agent

    Native cost allocation and chargeback by OpenShift namespace annotations and per‑agent ingest keys

    SummaryWe need Instana to natively attribute and report usage to internal cost centers so we can fairly recharge costs. Our workloads run on shared OpenShift clusters; every namespace has annotations for cost center and application ID. A small num...

    Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore Overrides EF Core Classes

    We are not able to see the OracleDB calls that our containerized .NET Core application make. It appears that Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore overrides some of the internal EF Core classes that Instana's instrumentation relies on. So the base EF Core in...

    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...
