Improvements
The following improvements are added.
Kubernetes monitoring polling frequency
Now the polling frequency for Kubernetes monitoring is automatically set by the agent operator to 10 seconds.
API for triggering notification manually
Previously, notifications that are triggered with an API were limited to events within the current month. This restriction is now removed. For more information, see the API for triggering notification manually.
Collecting machineId on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems
The Instana Host sensor now collects machineId on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. The machineId is used to correlate OpenTelemetry entities with Host entities.
Fixes
The following issues are fixed.
Misleading per-page count of items
In some tables, the default value of items per page was misleading. For example, in the Applications > Error Messages table, the number of items per page was set to 20 by default, but only 10 items were shown. This issue is now fixed.
RBAC application access scope includes application APIs
Previously, personal API tokens ignored RBAC application access limits. Now, personal API tokens with limited application access can access only the listed applications.
Rounding of values by using SI prefix
Previously, values that are shown in the SI format were rounded down instead of rounding to the nearest value. A value of 14.57
was formatted as 14
instead of 15
. Likewise, a value of 1567
was formatted as 1.5k
instead of 1.6k
. This issue is fixed now.
The number of decimal places is now more consistent when using SI prefixes. The values that must display a fixed number of decimal places now strictly shows the exact number of decimal places. Previously, this was not always the case, and
values showed more or fewer decimal places than expected. For example, when formatting 433.123
by using the SI prefix with one decimal place, the value was 433.123
instead of 433.1
.
These errors were limited only to the SI prefix formatter.
