Limitations and considerations

This public‑preview AI assistant offers limited Instana feature coverage, supports only SaaS environments, and might show delays or inaccuracies for complex or large queries.

Public preview status

As a public preview feature, the AI assistant might occasionally show inaccurate results when handling complex queries, and it remains subject to ongoing changes and improvements based on user feedback. In addition, it does not yet support all Instana features and data types, with broader coverage planned over time.

Scope of query

This feature is currently available only in SaaS environments and is not supported for on‑premises Instana deployments. Its functionality is limited to the specific technologies outlined in this document, and all queries are subject to Instana’s existing data‑retention policies, which determine how much historical data you can access.

Performance

Complex queries might require additional processing time, and when a query returns a large volume of data, the system shows it in pages instead of all at once. In addition, real‑time data might experience slight delays before appearing in the results.
