Hi,

Can this feature work on a self-hosted (on premises) Instana Server?

Thanks,

B

Hello Bobby!
Yes, its in Public Preview.

Instana supports connectivity to watsonx.ai or other external LLM services with LLM gateways, enabling various generative AI (gen AI) use cases. By configuring LLM gateways, you gain control over the connections and LLMs powering Instana's gen AI capabilities, ensuring alignment with internal policies, performance requirements, and data governance standards. You can create, monitor, configure, and maintain all LLM gateways within your environment.

MCP server for Instana
The Instana MCP server is built as a comprehensive wrapper around Instana's public REST APIs. It translates conversational queries into precise API calls and formats responses for AI assistants. This approach eliminates the traditional barriers between monitoring data and development workflows, allowing teams to access critical observability insights without leaving their preferred AI-powered environments. As an open-source project on GitHub, the Instana MCP server encourages community contributions and customizations. This model makes enterprise-grade observability accessible to development teams of all sizes while maintaining flexibility to adapt to organizational needs.
