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. 

• Metrics from the APM V8 WebSphere Application Server (WAS) agent can be integrated with Instana.

• Metrics from both the ITCAM V7 and APM V8 WebSphere Application Server (WAS) agents can be integrated with Instana.

•  Added alerting 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.

• 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.

• Instana now supports Apache RocketMQ monitoring and tracing as technology preview. For more information, see Monitoring Apache RocketMQ.

• 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. 

• Seed IP Addresses are now displayed on the sidebar of every Cassandra Node.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Added support for tracing text messages.

• 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.
