ISM protocols in Instana

We would like to add ISM functionalities from the ISM agent (ITM and APM) to the Instana. It is necessary for us to have these functionalities so we can propose to our current customers to transfer from the ITM/APM solutions to Instana. Several of our customers are currently using a lot of ISM monitors on a daily basis.

The list of the most important ISM monitors can be found below (the ones our customers are using ):

DNS

LDAP

Port Monitoring

DHCP

ICMP

FTP

The following protocols below will not be handled by Instana but rather will be handled in the network space.

NTP

SNMP

TCPPORT

SMTP

RADIUS

TRANSX

IMAP4

POP3

We are aware that Instana currently supports only ICMP and HTTP through Synthetic Check.

Is there a possibility that these listed ISM monitors can be developed?

    We are working on a more complete synthetic monitoring capability in Instana that will support HTTPS. We intend to add support for DNS and LDAP. I will reach out to you to setup some time to discuss.
