Convert "Smart Alert" into "Global Smart Alert" and vice versa

Sometimes Instana users own more than one application perspective. Suppose they already defined a smart alert on one ap and later want to apply the same configuration also on other ap(s). Then it would be helpful to have a button in the UI, that allows to convert the existing smart alert into a global smart alert (that then can cover more than one ap).

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.


    While this might be added at a later time through assigning more entities to a Smart Alert, currently IBM has evaluated the request and has 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.

    As we're working through access control of Smart Alerts, the differences of Global and individual Smart Alerts and the usecases served are also being considered.
    I'd be happy to chat about how you and your teams are using them and when you feel individual Smart Alerts to be more appropriate or what concerns might arise when using global Smart Alerts.
