Cost of ownership / internal charge back use-case

The customer is using LeanIX for "application inventory". They would like to add a tag (which in this case would contain the unique leanix id) to the application perspectives so a correlation can be done.

The request to us is to consider allowing to add metadata fields. In case of The customer this field would be mandatory. It is only used as metadata not as a filter for gathering application data.

For further adoption of Instana and "recognition" of usage this would be an important extension to them.

    Dear Customer,
    We thank you so much for submitting an idea and, in doing this, we appreciate your support in improving Instana product.
    Unfortunately this requirement is not currently in our roadmap and will not be for the next 12/18 months.
    If this feature is still a priority for your Instana implementation at that time, please reopen it to bring up to our attention and we will reevaluate for its inclusion.

    Best regards
    Henning Treu - Product Manager Instana Agent & Application Perspectives
