    Hello,
    what does it mean "Customer having more than 100s of application"?
    Specifically, what is 100s?

    You can check how EUM is configured in a web application in the public demo repository "robot-shop", specifically in this script:
    robot-shop/web/entrypoint.sh at master · instana/robot-shop

    My answer is valid, but it can be outdated as a method. 
    I think recently some effort was done to automate even more the EUM settings.
    So I invite more collaborators to answer to your question here.

    In any case, this documentation can help you further:

    Kind Regards,

    Hi,

    To monitor websites with Instana on IIS you have to include the JS agent manually into each application. For ASP.NET applications you can insert it in the master template. For static HTML pages manually one by one.

    It's worth to mention the "URL Rewrite" module of IIS. With this module you can define rules to change the content of the pages of the apps. With a simple rule you can include the JS agent in certain pages according to patterns.

    Probably Instana will include automatic instrumentation for IIS in the future.

    Regards,
