Workspace Instana

Reduce Instana infrastructure footprint by reducing metrics resolution

First, we installed on self-hosted Instana Backend on Docker (on-premies). However, the backend didn't respond to the production load and lost monitoring data.

Then, We decided to go forward with Openshift Installation. However, the recommended Openshift cluster size for Instana Backend cannot acceptable for the customer.

The customer also use a differnt stack to monitor their workload. They rejected recommended infrastructure size.

The customer is open to change host metrics to decrease infrastructure sizing. For example , If period of traces can change from 1 sec to 15 sec, will the infra costs decrease?
