  • 1.  Automation Feature Issues

    After enabling the automation feature for the instana back-end in the settings.hcl file by set this attribute

    feature "actionAutomationEnabled" {
        enabled = true
    }

    We faced as error as below:
    failed to save: failed to retrieve the resource: POST /api/automation/settings/actions =>403

    As workaround and as a reference from documentation for enabling the automation feature we added the another parameter to the settings.hcl :
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/257?topic=instana-managing-actions-open-beta#enabling-feature-flag

    feature "automationEnabled" {
        enabled = true
    }

    After adding this parameter, the issue is resolved which related to this error:
    failed to save: failed to retrieve the resource: POST /api/automation/settings/actions =>403

    But now we faced two issues:- 
       - Can not access the action history page.
       - The action is not triggering when the associated event was triggered.

    Hi Mohamed,

    The classic instana edition (docker) does not support the action framework. Only the standard and custom editions support this. Please check this blog:
