Find Kubernetes entities if the end time is greater than the entity lifetime

At the moment one can find an entity (e.g. Kubernetes Deployment) if the start time is earlier than the entity creation time but it is not possible to find an entity if the selected end time in the UI is later than the entity deletion/termination/end time.

E.g. entity existed from ~ 2023-07-14 10:00 to 2023-07-18 10:59

Expected behaviour vs actual:
* Start time 2023-07-01 to 2023-07-15 (start time before entity lifetime starts, end time before lifetime ends) expected: finds entity, actual: finds entity GREAT
* Start time 2023-07-15 to 2023-07-17  (start time after entity lifetime starts, end time before lifetime ends) expected: finds entity, actual: finds entity GREAT
* Start time 2023-07-01 to 2023-07-18 11:00 (start time before entity lifetime starts, end time after lifetime ends) expected: finds entity, actual: does not find entity FAIL
* Start time 2023-07-18 10:00 to 2023-07-18 11:00 (start time after entity lifetime starts, end time after lifetime ends) expected: finds entity, actual: does not find entity FAIL
* Relative time last x minutes / days (start time before or after entity lifetime starts, end time (now) after lifetime ends) expected: finds entity, actual: does not find entity FAIL
 

This results really poor usability as you cannot find your entities in list views (e.g. Kubernetes Deployments) and if you already selected your entity and change the timeframe then the Kubernetes Deployment not found dialog appears which suggests available time ranges (which is good) but it resets your start time and end time which you wanted to focus on which is bad.

    Hi Josef! Nice to e-meet you. My name is Jayanth, and I'm the PM for Kubernetes at Instana. I'm looking into your idea here.

    I see how this can be confusing. It's a problem we're well-aware of! This is how Instana behaves across all infrastructure entities, not just K8s resources.

    However, we've evaluated the request and have determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap. In 12 months, you will receive a notification that you can resubmit this request for consideration. 

    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
