14 days ago in IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps 0 Future consideration

Allow for defining custom date and time formats. This should be globally or per tenant. Maybe have a few predefined formats to choose from. Maybe have ISO 8601 as the default. Let us choose the default time zone as UTC regardless of our local time zone. This should cover all places where a date and time is displayed - unless it came from an external source like in metadata. Maybe let a different format be chosen per widget if needed.

Having a consistent format across all tools would be very nice to have, so being able to define it in DI would help in that. Having everything default to UTC would be very nice since 100% of our reports are displayed in UTC and the SevOne cluster ...

On IBM AIX, Instana should not count filecache (completely) as "used_memory"

AIX by default uses available memory as filecache (between limits set by parameters minperm% and maxperm%), usually up to 90% of the total memory size. When the applications use only a small portion of available memory, the remainder (or large par...

Add more collection operators to filter expressions

Existing collection operators are ".Where", ".Count", and ".Contains". It would be useful to have other operators like ".sum", ".max", ".min", etc. The Metrics and Validation rules DSL support these operators; it would make sense for the filter ex...

NOC needs to add PDU Loss detected by Versa probes between SDWAN Tunnel Endpoints

The "Loss" Value that SevOne uses to trigger the PPM Polices is based on the FWD & REV Loss and NOT the PDU Loss. The FWD & REV Loss are not class specific and measure loss of data received in either direction. The key thing here is if, as...
