To get a preview of instana.io URLs sent in Slack, install the Instana Slack App.
Prerequisites
It is mandatory to have a valid logged in Instana session during app installation.
Install
The installation process starts with clicking the Add to Slack button as follows. After granting access to read:links and write:links you are forwarded to a tenant selection page where you choose the
