Add an option to export the list shown in the "Comparison Table" view of the Infrastructure tab

There is a need to export the list of hosts in the "Comparison Table". This support will be really handy when you have multiple hosts are defined in the system. 

Also, noticed that the default option shows 50 per page.  If we select to show 100 per page, it is NOT honored.

    Hi Rengan,

    Thanks for reporting the bug with pagination on the comparison table view. We’ve shared this internally with the team. If you’d like to track progress on the fix, please open a support ticket and reference this behavior so it can be linked to the internal issue.

    Regarding the need to export the list of hosts: do you specifically need this as a built‑in export from the UI, or does an API‑based approach work for your use case? In the meantime, you can retrieve the list of hosts via our public API. Here is an example request you can use and adapt:

    Here is an example query that returns all hosts and basic metadata:
    curl -X GET "https://<instana-base-url>/api/infrastructure-monitoring/snapshots?plugin=host" \
    -H "Authorization: apiToken <YOUR_API_TOKEN>" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"

    The response includes an items array with host information, for example host ID, hostname, and labels/tags, which you can parse and export as a table. If you prefer, you can also add filter parameters or post‑process the JSON (for example with jq or a small script) to keep only the fields you care about before saving to CSV.

    Kind regards,
    Paras Kampasi
