We are using IBM Instana to monitor a set of 15 micro services running in a managed Kubernetes environment on IBM Cloud. IBM Instana gives us visibility into those containers so we can monitor and alert on performance issues.
  • Install and integration with a variety of runtime environments
  • Monitoring of performance at an API level
  • Automatic alerting
  • Support for additional runtime environments (Apache Flink)
  • Ability to monitor for missing components in an application inventory
  • Kubernetes support
  • SpringBoot integration
  • Monitoring and Alerting
  • Fast deployment
  • Quickly alert on issues in the environment
IBM Instana is easier to install and get fast results.

We use IBM Instana to monitor our application code. It does a great job and provides insights. IBM Instana can also monitor infrastructure level components and databases but we have found native tools do a better job (MongoDB OpsManager for example is a better option for monitoring MongoDB).
