Instana Integration Guide
Instana is an application performance monitoring(APM) solution designed to help organizations monitor and analyze the performance of their applications and infrastructure. It offers automatic and real-time visibility into the health and performance of microservices and containerized applications. With its AI-powered capabilities, Instana provides insights into issues, dependencies, and bottlenecks, allowing businesses to proactively optimize their application performance and deliver exceptional user experiences.
With the Zenduty-Instana integration, you would be able to create new Alerts and Incidents in Zenduty whenever an alert in Instana is triggered.
You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific Instana alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
To integrate Instana with Zenduty, complete the following steps:
In Zenduty:
-
Go to Teams on Zenduty and click on the team you want to add the integration to.
