Build 287

Threshold on table widget

You can add a threshold to the table widget in a custom dashboard to highlight values that exceed or fall under certain levels. Setting a threshold adds a visual color-coded indicator for metrics and helps spot warning and critical values. For more information, see Setting a threshold to widgets in custom dashboard.

Adding entity names in the alert titles for custom or built-in event alerts

You can now enable the Include entity name in alert title, when you configure alerts for custom or built-in events. This feature adds the name of the triggering entity to the alert title. It adds more context and allows customers, including Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), to quickly identify the triggering entity of the alert at a glance. For more information, see Configuring and managing alerts.

Concert integration

The Instana integration with IBM Concert is now generally available (GA). With this integration, you can now view the vulnerability information from Concert in Instana. For more information, see Integrating Concert with Instana.

Custom call metrics (public preview)

Instana now supports adding custom metrics to calls through SDK. You can use these metrics to filter calls numerically and chart aggregated values. For example, you can track the mean or max value of a custom buffer size in your request handling over time. For more information, see Custom call metrics.

Download custom dashboard

You can now download a custom dashboard as a PDF file. For more information, see Downloading custom dashboards as PDF files.

Enable Subresource Integrity (SRI)

Enabling Subresource Integrity (SRI) for the JavaScript agent is now generally available (GA). You can change configurations under the website configuration tab to enable or disable Subresource Integrity. For more information, see Enable Subresource Integrity.

Snowflake sensor

The Snowflake sensor is now generally available (GA). For more information, see Monitoring Snowflake.

Support for HAProxy 3.0

The HAProxy sensor supports HAProxy 3.0. For more information, see Monitoring HAProxy.

The Access Control and Audit options are moved

The Team Settings tab in the Settings menu is renamed as Global Settings. The following options are moved from the Team Settings tab to the Security & Access tab:

• Access Control
• Audit
• Identity Providers
• Session

For more information on the Access Control and Audit options, see Manage Users. For more information on the Identity Providers and Session options, see Authentication.

Alerts based on severity

You can now configure different alert channels for different severities in Smart Alerts for infrastructure and applications. Alert notifications are sent to different alert channels based on the severity of the issue.

Event disablement and alert suppression

When you close an issue or incident manually, you can now mute alerts and disable event configuration. For more information, see Manually closing issues and incidents.

Thresholds for application Smart Alerts

You can now set thresholds for the warning and critical severities in Smart Alerts for applications. For more information, see Smart Alerts for Application monitoring.

Turbonomic integration

The Instana integration with IBM Turbonomic is now generally available (GA). With this integration, you can collect, view, and run the actions that are recommended by Turbonomic for your applications in Instana. For more information, see Integrating Turbonomic with Instana.

Improved reliability of ARN tagging for AWS lambda calls

AWS lambda calls were only tagged with an AWS function ARN if the call could be correctly linked to the corresponding function entity from infrastructure monitoring. The AWS ARN is now directly extracted from call monitoring data and does not depend on matching infrastructure monitoring.

Unable to view calls

No calls were displayed when you access the Analytics page from the Top List widget on the Custom Dashboard page. This issue is resolved.

Unable to view source code of errors

The source code of errors was not visible in the stack trace in call details. This issue is resolved.

Agent Helm chart v2.0.2

The Agent Helm chart was released in version 2.0.2. The main change in the 2.x branch is the installation of a Kubernetes operator. The Kubernetes operator handles all Agent and k8s-sensor resources in a Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift cluster. Agent and Kubernetes-sensor resources are configured by a CustomResourceDefinition (CRD), which is now part of the Helm install.
