Add %ifInErrors, %ifOutErrors, %ifInDiscards, %ifOutDiscards as standard indicators for interfaces

These are industry standard metrics and should have been added years ago. All customers benefit since individual packet error/discard counts don't provide much context into the seriousness of the issue (e.g. 5 errors out of how many packets?) vs i...

Provide ability to surface all CUR columns in Cloudability's reporting

Many of our customers have custom use cases that require more fields in the CUR than Cloudability provides. An example is the Legal Entity field. Surfacing Legal Entity would enable better visibility into the 3rd party vendor that is being purchas...

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...

Closed Project Codes non-selectable in Plans

This would be useful because Project Codes close during a fiscal year and need to be retained in reference data for the associated line items in the plan. However, if end users are unaware that a code has been closed, they can still plan expenses ...

Conditional or Correlated Alert Logic in Instana (e.g., “Alert on X unless Y is high”)

We would like to have the ability to define conditional or correlated alert logic in Instana. For example, we need to trigger an alert when there are too many 404 responses on a specific endpoint, but only if the number of login requests is not hi...

Support for AWS Cost Categories

We currently have AWS cost categories in place and is extensively used to reflect our organisation structure, ownership and allocation for our costs. Rather than redoing this work via Business Mapping it would be great if Cloudability could import...

In Infrastructure Map, change the normal status color of zOS node boxes from Gray to White

In the infrastructure map, all normal nodes are in white, other than zOS nodes which are in gray color and appears to be inactive. We integrate OMEGAMON infrastructure metric at OS level only for zOS node, not other component. As for distributed n...

I would like to request a policy change so that a new version number is assigned to the Instana agent with each BootStrap release.

There are cases where the version number of the Instana agent does not change even though the BootStrap included in the Instana agent has been updated. Because of this, when a bug is detected in BootStrap, it becomes impossible to identify which v...

"Last Uploaded" date

As per the design behaviour, the "Upload" step shows upload times in GMT-7:00 (PST) timezone and not in the Customers local timezone (see attached screenshot). This is in our opinion misleading and confusing. Apptio is requested to change this so ...
