Input messages metrics for various type of flow nodes (MQ / HTTP / File) under IBM ACE Message Flow

Under Infrastructure the IBM ACE Message Flow view shows the Flow Nodes associated with the Message Flow. There is only one graph showing input messages metrics for the whole message flow. We would also like to have the same input messages metrics for each Flow node (MQ / HTTP / File) as well.

    Hi @Guest

    We have conducted a preliminary review of the request. Based on our understanding, the following input message flow metrics are currently displayed in Instana:

    Could you please confirm whether the request is to display these three metrics under each flow node as well, so that every flow node shows its corresponding metrics?

    Note: Number of Invocations: The total number of messages that are processed by this flow node and it is already displayed in the flow node.

    So, do we only need to include the total size of the messages?

    Thanks
