Welcome to the latest of our Instana touchpoint. It’s a busy time with a new series just kicked off, lots of news features released or on the way and some changes on the community. Lets go!
Community Update:
Im sure you have seen some of the changes made to the Instana community recently. We are constantly trying to make it better and easier for you to access. We have added some getting started guide and this newsletter to the home page and ensured that upcoming events are all visible there too. The downside is that while we try to make sure that all links are working sometimes we miss something. If you notice any broken links or things don’t look quite right let us know at digitalcustomersuccessemea@ibm.com with Instana Community in the title so that we can fix it as soon as we can. There are plans for some more updates coming soon too so keep an eye out there.
