Service Level Objectives
for Instana

Instana is an observability and application performance monitoring (APM) platform designed to provide real-time insights into application performance and health. It captures metrics and traces to give a detailed view of microservices and cloud-native environments. By automatically collecting and analyzing telemetry data, Instana helps teams understand system behavior, identify bottlenecks, and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) for performance issues. Its ability to trace every request end-to-end in real-time allows teams to pinpoint performance problems quickly and understand their impact on connected services.

Nobl9 integrates with Instana to take its detailed metrics and traces and transform them into focused Service Level Objectives (SLOs). While Instana excels at providing deep observability and incident detection, Nobl9 enhances this data by setting specific, user-defined reliability goals aligned with business needs. Nobl9’s data source-agnostic capabilities allow teams to combine Instana's metrics with data from other sources for a comprehensive view of system health. Nobl9’s advanced dashboards and reporting help track service performance against SLOs, providing clear insights into how systems are performing in the context of user experience. This integration ensures that the wealth of data collected by Instana is not only monitored but actively managed to maintain and improve service reliability.
