    Thank you for sharing this and for considering Instana as the primary observability platform for your PaySuite application.

    Instana can monitor applications that use LMAX Disruptor, as surrounding components such as HTTP services, messaging systems, database calls, and JVM metrics are automatically instrumented.

    If deeper visibility into the internal Disruptor event-processing pipeline is required, this can already be achieved using the Instana Tracing SDK to create custom spans around the relevant handlers or processing stages.

    Could you please confirm whether the requirement is to achieve this without any code changes in the application?
