Observability to APIC since INSTANA.

Banco Popular of the Dominican Republic needs to integrate INSTANA with APIC, with the goal of observing:

_ Provider Organizations
_ Catalogs
_ APIs (Requests)

The problem is that the integration between both products has been underway for over a month, with the support of the IBM Lab, and it was successfully integrated. However, testing identified the problem: INSTANA cannot observe more than one Provider Organization in its Infrastructure Dashboard.

In my case, I created three Supplier Organizations: DESA-01, QA-01, and PROD-01, but INSTANA can only observe one of these at a time, which is not optimal.

That's why I created this idea, but I'm looking to streamline the improvement so they can support everything required.

    Hello team. I'm sharing the results of the detailed tests performed after the integration between IBM API Connect and INSTANA on OPENSHIFT. Unfortunately, the results are incorrect, and several inconsistencies have been found related to the identification on the INSTANA side versus the execution performed in APIC.

    All the details are in the attachment. If the solution could be prioritized, perhaps for the next version of INSTANA, this would be beneficial, as APIC is a product widely used by large clients currently and is an important requirement for those with CP4I and INSTANA licenses.

    This is related to all the work that has been done together: CSM, IBM LABORATORY in this Slack:
    https://ibm-cloud.slack.com/archives/C01L1TVJF8A/p1747253870068009

    Finally, LABORATORY's proposals are presented, so we can prioritize improvements with the Project Manager. We need them to share a possible date for this improvement and come up with an idea to share with the client.
