Need Instance parameter representation in thresholds and percentage

Dear colleagues,

In Instana we miss several parameters that we need to monitor Queue Channels:

  1. Instance numbers

  2. Instance percentile

  3. Channels percentile

Our customer monitors them with Tivoli Monitoring. They seek for transition to Instana, so they're interested in implementation of them as analogs to what they use in ITM. Below are examples of such ITM situations they use at the moment:

*IF *VALUE Channel_Summary.Percent_Maximum_Instances *GT 80.0
*AND *VALUE Channel_Summary.Percent_Maximum_Instances *LT 100.0

*IF *VALUE Channel_Summary.Maximum_Instances *GE 200


*IF *VALUE Current_Queue_Manager_Status.Percent_Maximum_Channels *GT 80.0


thank you

    Hi Aysha, I've just updated the title of the idea to "percentage".

    Thank you for the confirmation. We will go ahead with implementing instance percentage and channel percentage.

    Hello Aysha, your're right, our customers use percentage in ITM not percentiles.

    Hi @Oleg Samoylov Our team has reviewed the requirement and we have a few queries.

    It is mentioned that monitoring is currently being done using Tivoli, and we are expected to implement the same in Instana. Specifically, the requirement highlights the need to include:

    1. Instance numbers

    2. Instance percentile

    3. Channels percentile

    However, in Tivoli, only percentage values are available there is no mention of percentiles. Could you please clarify whether we are expected to implement actual percentiles, or should we align with the current monitoring approach in Tivoli and use percentage values instead?
