Fixes
Build 285 provides the following fixes in Instana:
Application perspectives
Previously, when the maximum line and the mean latency line were displayed immediately, the maximum line hid the mean latency line, which caused difficulty in identifying the mean latency line. Now, the Latency chart on the Application, Service, or Endpoint dashboard is updated to view the mean latency line easily when it appears with other percentile and maximum series. The issue is now fixed.
Editing infrastructure custom dashboard widgets
Previously, when you edited a custom dashboard widget with an infrastructure dataset and a filter expression, the widget was not saved due to a validation error. This issue is now fixed.
Inconsistent formatting in analyze infrastructure
Previously, in the analytics view for infrastructure entities, the metrics displayed in the table were not formatted correctly. This issue is now fixed and displays metrics with the correct format.
Kubernetes monitoring
The Pods Alloc.
value for Kubernetes nodes is now correctly calculated and disregards finished pods.
Synthetic monitoring
- The Synthetic PoP 1.2.6 images are now based on Red Hat UBI 9 images.
- The security vulnerability
CVE-2024-4067
is fixed now.
Trace details
Previously, when you sorted the Service Endpoint List, the list displayed inconsistent results. The issue is now fixed and displays consistent results in the Service Endpoint List across multiple pages.
