This article explains how to integrate Instana with Watson AIOps.
Integration Flow
- Instana observes a managed environment containing a Kubernetes-based application. The application perspective created in Instana shows on the dashboard.
- When observations meet the specified criteria for an event, the system creates an alert. Instana applies custom payload data to the alert data.
- Instana sends the alert to the alert channel, which sends the alert to the Webhook associated with Watson AIOps.
Integration Steps
The Integration process consists of the below steps. Perform all the steps to integrate Instana with Watson AIOps.
