This latest release delivers enhancements and additional coverage from what was
delivered with version 1.0.227.
In this release, you can directly use Instana packages for installation and deployment. For detailed instructions, see the
Instructions.pdf
file, which you can download from
Passport Advantage
.
Main features now available to IBM clients in the new release:
APM V8 Integration
Metrics from the APM V8 WebSphere Application Server (WAS) agent can be integrated with Instana.
ITM V6 Integration
Metrics from both the ITCAM V7 and APM V8 WebSphere Application Server (WAS) agents can be integrat
ed
with Instana.
Application Smart Alerts
Added a
lerting on the rate of HTTP status code
.
HTTP Status Codes blueprint now allows defining alerts based on the
status code rate
metric
in addition to
the previously supported
status code count
metric.
Camunda external task tracing
Instana now supports Camunda tracing of BPMN external tasks. By using this feature, you can gain visibility into Camunda BPMN external tasks, and automatically link the activity-related sub calls for full context and infrastructure insights.
Apache RocketMQ monitoring and tracing (technology preview)
Instana now supports Apache RocketMQ monitoring and tracing as technology preview. For more information, see
Monitoring Apache RocketMQ
.
Synthetic Monitoring test result details UI (technology preview)
The technology preview for Synthetic Monitoring is updated to include a partial implementation of the UI page to view the details of a selected synthetic test run.
SENSOR IMPROVEMENTS
Cassandra Sensor
Seed IP Addresses are now displayed on the sidebar of every Cassandra Node.
IBM ACE Sensor
Supported access to REST API and MQTT with loopback address.
The
minimum poll rate
is set
to 20s to be consistent with the interval of ACE snapshot data.
Adopted new threadpool approach to improve performance.
IBM ACE Tracing
Replaced the span label
msgFlowTransaction
with the real message flow name, and changed this span label to the first position, instead of the previously second position following the message flow input node. In this way, users can see more clearly how long the request is processed in this message flow.
Supported IBM MQ message header detection, and injected trace context into outgoing request only when the MQRFH2 header is included to avoid breaking users' applications.
IBM i Sensor
Added the custom event for inactive Subsystem. Specify the
subsystem_list
in the configuration
user_specification:subsystem
. Then, an event will be triggered if the specified subsystems are not in
Active
status.
Added the custom event for
Active Jobs
that are running less than the specified threshold value. Specify the
jobName/user
and
threshold
in the configuration
user_specification:activeJobs:event:identicalJobs
. Then, an event will be triggered for the jobs that are defined in the configuration if the count of active jobs is less than the specified threshold value at any time.
IBM MQ Tracing
Added support for tracing text messages.
vSphere Sensor
vSphere version is now displayed on the datacenter dashboard next to the name
.
Virtual machine state column is added to the VMs table on the host and datacenter dashboards
.
NGINX Tracer
Delivered
NGINX Tracer 1.7.0
.
Added support for NGINX 1.22.0.
Support IPv4 and IPv6 address to connect to the Instana agent.
Envoy Tracer
Delivered
Envoy Tracer 1.7.0
.
Support IPv4 and IPv6 address to connect to the Instana agent.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Alerting
Improved the validation of stored tag-filters in various areas such as SmartAlerts, Application Perspectives and Service Level Objectives (SLOs):
Improved the error messages to include more details about the exact problem when invalid tag-filters are provided.
Invalid tag-filters are now rejected.
Logging
Users can now filter and group log messages through Kubernetes labels.
Settings UI
In the
Add user
dialog, the group selector is now ordered alphabetically.
Area scope names that don't fit are now displayed on a tooltip on hover
The
UI design of the
Add API Token
button and the following search box
are now
consistent with the rest of the
Settings
section.
Application Dashboard metrics
Application Dashboard:
Top Services metrics are changed. On the
Calls
tab,
CallsPerSecond
is added as a companion metric. On the
Erroneous Calls
tab, now
erroneousCalls
is used as a primary metric, and
errors
is used as a companion metric.
Service / Endpoint Dashboards:
Top Endpoint
metrics are changed. On the
Erroneous Call Rate
tab, now
erroneousCalls
is used as a primary metric, and
errors
is used as a companion metric.
