Filter on exit endpoints (Capture http headers for exit calls)

Hello,

We are facing an issue due to restrictions in Instana.

We can't get contextual informations on endpoints going to non instrumented applications.
The consequence is that we can't manage incidents the same way if they come from an internal or external source.

For instance, we evaluate an incident criticity based on the calculation of the number of users that have faced a specific error.
We can do this on instrumented servers thanks to custom headers which pass a userid, but we can't calculate this on incidents involving external partners in spite of sending the same headers to theses partners.

We see two solutions that could hypothetically overcome this issue :
- Be able to track custom headers on exit requests
- Be able to filter on datas from sources that are instrumented. (for example the correlation with meta from front-end , or custom headers from entries to our back-end application)

Do you think any of those two solutions could be done ? Or maybe another that we haven't thought of?

Kind regards,

Quentin

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Based on the usecase , I will assume you are talking about HTTP reponse headers for exits, pleaase correct me if I get it wrong.


    For collecting HTTP response headers on exit requests, right now we only support it in Node.js.

    Could you tell me which libraries in which language/platforms you want us to expand our support for response headers capture on HTTP exits?
