Build 278

Spring Boot datasources

Instana now automatically discovers and monitors Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and HikariCP datasources. For more information, see Monitoring Spring Boot.

Display Elasticsearch node ID

The Elasticsearch node dashboard now displays the node ID. You can also filter Elasticsearch nodes by node ID.

Delete Action History

You can now delete an action run either by using the Action History REST API or the user interface.

Oracle Multitenant database sensor

The Oracle Multitenant database sensor is now generally available. For more information, see Monitoring Oracle Multitenant database.

Enhance Java profiles support

Java profiles are also supported on the PowerLinux and Power AIX based operating systems.

Emoji rendering in Slack alert channel notifications

In the Slack alert messages, the rendering of emoji is now disabled. For example, you can now see :wink: instead of an actual 😉 emoji. This update prevents interference with custom payloads that use the custom:<key>: <value> format. If you use an emoji name (for example, pod) for your key, then the key name that is rendered as an emoji in Slack messages is difficult to read.

Synthetic monitoring

Hotfixes were applied to Instana 277 for the following issues. The fixes are available on Instana 278:

• Validation of credentials inside comments in Synthetic scripts treated XPath statements that use '//' as comments. This issue is fixed.

• Synthetic tests that were created on Instana 276 might not be paused or resumed. This issue is fixed.
