Monitoring WebSphere Application Server Infrastructure
After you install the Instana host agent, WebSphere Application Server Infrastructure sensor is automatically installed, but you need to configure as outlined in this topic. For more information, see Configuring. Then, you can view metrics that are related to WebSphere Application Server Infrastructure in the Instana UI.
Supported information
Supported operating systems
The supported operating systems of the WebSphere Application Server Infrastructure sensor are consistent with the host agent requirements. For more information, see the Supported operating systems section of the Windows, Unix, or Linux host agent documentation:
