Automatic Visibility/Observability

What is the best approach to monitoring python applications on my Windows host  since the use of the resource module is not available on Windows. It appears that the instana.collector.helpers.runtime module imports resource, which is a Unix-specific library, probably leading to a module error on Windows.

Is there a recommended approach for using the Instana Python sensor on Windows, given the lack of support for the resource module?

Are there plans to address this compatibility issue in future releases of the instana package?

Is there an alternative configuration or update available that avoids the need for platform-specific modifications in the source code?

I appreciate any insights or guidance you can provide to ensure a robust solution for monitoring Python applications on Windows environments.

Thank you for your support.

Hello Gal.

Thanks for asking us about this topic.

Unfortunately, Windows is not a supported environment, as described in the Instana Python documentation, and no sooner plans exist to add this support.

However, your question got the attention of Product Management, and I recommend you create a feature request here. 

Thank you for your understanding and best regards,
