Cloud Management and AIOps


This is an IBM Automation portal for Cloud Management and AIOps products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Java method tracing pre-defined options

Instana is unable to determine the time/performance at the Java “method” level. Instana requires either of the two of traces to be enabled to capture the method level performance,

1. Configuration based SDK trace: No changes on the application code. But can selectively look at the methods individually configured.

Problem: No option to include all methods, as it is a resource intensive activity.

 

2. Java SDK trace: Requires application code change. Spans can be configured as per developers input for monitoring.

Problem: No client or app developer will change their code for performance data gathering. It’s impractical to ask them.

 

Idea / Request for Enhancement: Provide out-of-the-box SDK based traces may be in bundles of 5, 10, 15 and ALL. This will enable looking inside methods for performance data in Java based monolithic applications.
