Add tabs to show Endpoint and URLs associated with the Application Perspective

When working with monolith applications running on our WebSphere servers on our IBM mainframe Instana shows the WebSphere server names as Services. However, multiple applications run on any one WebSphere server so the server name as a service is not helpful. The individual applications running on a WebSphere server actually show as URLs in Instana. We can only search for those via Analytics but cannot see them in the Application Perspective. Using Analytics adds extra clicks. When multitasking or triaging this slows us down and adds to the cognitive load. This undermines the benefit of having our Application Perspective since it isn't clear if a URL is being included or not. We can only assume based on the Services showing in the App Perspective and then going over to Analytics to search based on a specific Service.

We would want the Application Perspective to include two additional tabs - one that shows all Endpoints associated with the Application Perspective and one that shows all URLs associated with the Application Perspective. This would greatly increase visibility and awareness. It would also make using Instana more efficient and user friendly. Finally, it would provide confirmation that our Application Perspective is including exactly what we want.
