    Thank you for submitting this Instana Idea. We always appreciate feedback from our clients to enhance our solutions.

    For this particular Idea, can I get more information on this use case? From my understanding, Mimix and iCluster are HA/DR solutions. I would like to understand how Instana can play a role in enhancing monitoring of 3rd party software. Are you suggesting some form of integration with Mimix and iCluster? Or some other way we can monitor 3rd party software?
