Instead of INSTANA_IGNORE=true, customer would like to have an opt-in approach for monitoring java processes

We have a customer that is trying to monitor java.  By default, Instana auto-instruments everything within the kubernetes cluster.   The customer doesn't want everything instrumented because it can have an impact on the application performance.

 

I told them that we could add an environment variable of INSTANA_IGNORE=true to the workloads that they don't want to monitor.  But, that is difficult for them to implement because they have to work with dozens of application teams that own the various applications.   They would prefer if we had an opt-in approach.   Perhaps one global parameter that tells Instana to NOT monitor a JVM unless a 2nd environment variable exists.
