Smart Alerts for Infrastructure and Kubernetes.

I can configure the smart alerts on the Application. I cannot however configure the smart alert on the Infrastructure components. How can I achieve it? If it's not possible I would like to request this as a feature since it is quite a helpful feature which can easily facilitate handling infrastructure alerts on the same platform.

    It's a bit strange that although instana collects infrastructure metrics, it cannot generate alerts for it. I hope you will activate this feature as soon as possible and not give your opponents a trump card.

    I have a customer who has a similar use case.
    Customer wants to be alerted if there is an anomaly (adaptive thresholding) or sudden increase (50%, 100%, 200%) sustained for a period of time (over 5min) which they should probably look in to. The metric concerned here (queue depth) is coming from the infrastructure side and there aren't any OOTB "sudden increase" type alerts that can cater to this. But this can be addressed if infra metrics are added to the scope of Smart Alerts.
