    Hi,

    If I use Instana self-signed cert, can I monitor websites?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Bobbie,

    Sure, that should be possible. Self-hosted Instana provides End-User Monitoring out-of-the-box. For Synthetic monitoring you need an additional license.

    Hi Bart,

    Follow-up query.

    Should port 443 be allowed between monitored website and instana server?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Bobbie,

    The browser that is accessing the website should be able to resolve and access the self-hosted Instana backend through port 443.
