Enhance IBM i (AS/400) dashboard capabilities for Active Subsystems, Jobs, History Log, and Journal Details.

We have a banking customer running critical workloads on IBM i (AS/400). Instana already collects the required IBM i metrics and supports Events/Alerts, however we are currently blocked from delivering custom dashboard capabilities for IBM i oriented to operational and administration teams.

Today, IBM i monitoring in Instana is largely limited to built-in views and to show Events/Incidents in a custom dashboard. This is not sufficient for the customer’s day-to-day needs: they require a custom dashboard that can list and visualize IBM i metrics by Active Subsystems, Jobs, History Log, and Journal details, to understand what is happening right now and validate current usage, without having to wait for an alert to trigger.

At the moment, Instana does not provide a native capability to present these IBM i dimensions in a custom dashboard (list/table style) in the same way customers expect for operational monitoring. As a result, visibility of real-time IBM i activity is limited, and the only actionable view available in dashboards is through Events/Incidents, which does not replace continuous operational oversight. This gap is a blocker for scalable operations in regulated environments where dashboards must be consistent, maintainable, and management-ready.
