Application Transaction Tracing for DataPower and MQ Appliances

This is idea is beneficial for all customers who employ DataPower and/or MQ appliances as part of their application infrastructure because it would enable them to gain a true 'end-to-end' view of their application flows. By enabling transactions to be traced through the appliance, and allowing those transactions to be ingested by Instana, customers will be able to close any troubleshooting gaps they have in their middleware estate

    I am marking this as "not under consideration" as Instana is embracing OpenTelemetry and will not do specific support.
    Datapower is working in OpenTelemetry support and Instana will consume the Opentelemetry signals once they are ready

    Thank you for the request.
