Automatic infrastructure correlation update when HA service ip changed

Basically, infrastructure correlation works good.

However, we have faced a case that the correlation is unlinked.

We suspect that the phenomenon occurred when a take-over of HA (high availability) happened.

In our case, we use Db2 HADR and TSA (Tivoli System Automation)). The service ip is attached to a new primary server on a take-over, but Instana does not follow the change.

Current Instana has an experimental feature to manually correlate a service and an infrastructure using API.

As it is common to configure database servers as HA cluster, this should be done automatically.
