  • 1.  Instana Synthetic Monitoring using in case of On Prem Instana backend

    Posted Wed October 26, 2022 09:16 AM
    Hello,
    We have Instana On Prem backend server installed.
    Have we can use the latest Synthetic monitoring features in this environment?
    Can we use API or POP for monitoring our sites ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shimon.  Synthetic Monitoring in Instana is still in technology preview on SaaS envirionments and is not yet available on-premise.  Our Product Manager, Cross Ganaway (cganawa@us.ibm.com) would be interested in talking with you to find out about your needs and use cases.  We have a few other on-premise customers that have expressed interest, and Cross is keeping in touch with them.  Cross is aware of this post, so he may reply here shortly.  If you don't hear from him here today, please send him an email at the address above.  Thanks for your interest!

    Hi Cross,
    Thanks for response,
    These days we starting production deployment of Instana On Prem after successful POC .
    We interested in monitoring our banks external web site (based on IBM WebSphere Portal) availability and APM.
    Currently we use TEAMVIEW Application, that execute simple URL from different countries location  (Europe ,USA and etc.) and, us result, report as with response time, when it pass the predefined threshold ( 3000 msec) .
    What is the concept of APM synthetic monitoring planned to be implemented in this case ?
    How we can use Instana POP/API and what info can be received in this case.
    Our Instana On-prem will monitor the all portal environment from the internal networks.
    How Instana synthetic monitoring from external POP can be integrated with APM data from internal Instana On prem, for receiving full end-to-end monitoring solution?
    If this is possible ?
    The dream : Running workflow with tasks, that stimulate real customer activity executed on his banks account.(fake customer on fake bank account of course) with end-to-end APM monitoring.

    Thanks for response
