Tracing helps you to understand the interaction between these components and the messages passed between them. Using our Dynamic Graph, we enhance each trace to provide you with data relating to each service, application, and the system architecture.Switching to Instana from IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3IBM Instana Observability offers enhanced observability, analysis, and troubleshooting capabilities for the users who switched from IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.Support strategy for tracer librariesInstana supports a variety of runtimes and languages for tracing.Support strategy for sensorsInstana supports monitoring a variety of software by using sensors. When Instana supports a software, it continues to support any new version that is available for this software.Support strategy for IDOTInstana Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector (IDOT) supports various components for working with OpenTelemetry Data. When IDOT supports a component, it continues to support any new version that is available for this module.Instana AutoTraceBy automatically instrumenting technology-specific sensors into the running applications, Instana AutoTrace™ makes distributed tracing a zero-effort experience.Configuration-based Java Trace SDKThe configuration-based Java Trace SDK enables a declarative specification of spans and tags that the spans should carry, and creates spans by executing certain methods of your application.Tutorial: Instrumenting a Custom Java HTTP Framework with the Instana Tracing SDKThe Instana agent supports many Java HTTP frameworks, and in most cases tracing will be supported out-of-the-box as soon as you run the Java agent.Tutorial: Instrumenting a Custom Scheduler with the Instana Tracing SDKSchedulers are tools to run jobs periodically. The most popular Java scheduler is quartz, which is supported out-of-the-box by the Instana.Java Trace SDKBy using the Instana Java Trace SDK (github), it is possible to manually instrument Entries and Exits that Instana does not yet know, as well as mark up interesting sections of custom code. It also supports creating custom correlation across binary protocols and adding custom defined key value pairs to spans (for extracting relevant information).Kafka Header MigrationAmazon web services IAM configurationAnalyzing IncidentsHere is an example of an incident. A service is suddenly responding slower than usual, we call this a sudden increase in average latency. The incident is automatically marked in yellow as a warning. The colour is presented as long as this incident is still active. Once it is resolved, the colour changes to grey and is still available for the drill-down menu. Clicking on the line in the table starts the experience.Built-in Events ReferenceThe Events page displays a list of all the currently available events; out of the box built-in events and any user-defined custom events. To view the Events page, click Settings -> Events.Event typesTo help you manage the quality of service of your applications, Instana detects three types of an event.Frequently asked questionsFind answers to frequently asked questions about Instana.
