Add COBOL tracing on distributed environments

The idea is to Add COBOL tracing on distributed(Linux/Windows) environments.

Background:

There are still many customers running critical COBOL applications, and monitoring these applications are vital.

Currently, there are no Otel SDK/APIs for COBOL, and there is no way to trace COBOL applications using Instana.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your the request. We are looking in the direction of eBPF Tracing/Profiling in 2025, which would cover the Linux environment for COBOL. I will keep you updated
