OMEGAMON sensor releases

The Integration of IBM OMEGAMON with Instana is accomplished by configuring IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Provider and by using the Instana OMEGAMON sensor to communicate. The Instana host agent (OMEGAMON sensor) then sends the payloads to the Instana server where the payloads are processed, creating entities in the Instana server, and saving the metrics for display in the Instana UI.

For more information, see OMEGAMON.

Release 1.0.15

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.15 is released on 18 June 2026.

Fixes

This release fixes an issue where data disappeared from dashboards after several minutes. The problem was caused by a recent host agent change that introduced cleanup of unreferenced thread pools. This cleanup unintentionally terminated the Omegamon sensor’s processing threads, resulting in excessive “Process Service thread terminated” log messages and data loss.

Release 1.0.14

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.14 is released on 27 August 2025.

Improvements

The OMEGAMON sensor now listens for and handles the updates that are made in the configuration.yaml file.

Release 1.0.13

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.13 is released on 29 July 2025.

Improvements

This release adds table counts for the valid records that are received in the 5-minute monitor.

Release 1.0.11

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.11 is released on 30 June 2025.

Fixes

This release fixes the metric graph issue for OMEGAMON sensors that use entity splitter by adding the poll rate in the response.

Release 1.0.10

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.10 is released on 17 June 2025.

Fixes

Previously, some data payloads with the same entity ID, host ID, and sensor name were dropped, and they didn't appear in the dashboards. This issue is now fixed.

Release 1.0.9

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.9 is released on 15 May 2025.

Fixes

Previously, the OMEGAMON sensor supported only batch mode to receive data from the OMEGAMON Data Provider (ODP). Now, it supports both record mode and batch mode.

Release 1.0.8

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.8 is released on 21 April 2025.

Improvements

This release removes unused test dependencies.

Release 1.0.7

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.6 is released on 20 November 2024.

Improvements

OMEGAMON sensor 1.0.7 introduces a new variable called "interval_count" to use as a configurable TTL (Time to Live) control.
