    Hi saroch,

    Thanks for the continuous support. We have tried and followed all the steps that you mentioned earlier but we are getting the same kafka issue.

    Could you please suggest a solution.

    failed init for (kafka-ingress): kafka server: Request exceeded the user-specified time limit in the request

    Thanks in advance

    Hi all,

    the mentioned failure here means Kafka (one of Instana's datastores) fails to come up. That can happen due to a lot of different things, including slow disks. As I understand this is for self-learning, I would ask you to try from scratch with the latest released version. 

    If the issue persists. Please follow the troubleshooting section https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=installer-troubleshooting to get logs. If you check the Kafka logs and other logs yourself for errors, you will know more.

    Feel also free to reach out to our support team https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/?language=en_US which can help you navigate the logs.

    Best

    Hi Battala, 

    Besides reiterating what was mentioned on Hubert's message on October 17th, I wanted to add that now we have a another way of deploying self-hosted ("Self-Hosted Standard Edition"). It will manage the installation on your behalf using simple commands (e.g.: "stanctl up")

    You can deploy in a sinle-node or multi-node. The details are in this section https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=backend-installing-standard-edition#installation-options

    Best
