OS Process sensor releases

Instana monitors operating system processes by using the Instana OS Process sensor. The sensor provides insights into the health and performance of operating system processes. For more information, see Monitoring OS Process.

1.1.51

OS Process sensor 1.1.50 is released on 22 October 2024.

Fixes

Previously, the OS Process sensor on Mac failed to collect metrics, which resulted in missing metrics. This issue is now fixed, and the sensor keeps the entity alive even when the data is not changed.

1.1.50

OS Process sensor 1.1.50 is released on 9 October 2024.

Improvements

This release adds support for heartbeat to the OS Process sensor, which reduces the data that is sent to the Instana backend. The agent only sends data every 3 seconds if the backend supports the heartbeat.
