Request the implementation of visibility for the AccountingOrigin value within Instana

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We would like to request the ACE Instana sensor to collect the Accounting Origin and for it to be displayed with ACE message flow stats.

We have multiple MLP implementations that share a single message flow. Currently, we populate the Accounting Origin value with the name of the MLP. That provides message flow stat visibility at the implementation level. Without this, all the metrics are consolidated at the message flow level which limits the usefulness of observability. We are in the middle of migrating these message flows to ACE on OpenShift and this makes troubleshooting and performance monitoring very difficult.

    Hi Team, I was talking with Tyler yesterday on a variety of topics regarding Erie's use of App Connect Enterprise and the topic of this Idea came up. If the Instana team would like to reach out to discuss this item in more depth, I'd be very happy to assist from the App Connect Enterprise standpoint (bthomps@uk.ibm.com) ... As a very long and well-established way of gathering insight into usage patterns, many of our ACE clients utilize the power of Flow Statistics, and AccountingOrigin is a really neat way to get more granular information and breakdowns from Flow Statistics data, either for internal customer chargeback purposes or when trying to establish how much common ACE framework flow componentry is being utilized by multiple tenants in a system. Best Regards, Ben

    Capturing MessageFlow stats at accountOrigin level is really helpful to  capture usage and also troubleshoot

    Please add this to ACE  Instana sensor
