Instana supports deep linking to complicated view configurations, e.g. to the analyze views. While this means that it is easy to share / bookmark points in the Instana user interface, it also means that these deep links need to encode a lot of information and can therefore be quite long. It can be disrupting in communication tools to paste these long links. In order to reduce disruptions we now offer the option to generate short URLs.
The short URL dialog is shown when using the go to address bar
shortcut in your browser, i.e. CMD+L
on MAC and
CTRL+L
on Windows and Linux.
Instana now supports monitoring Spark applications running on AWS EMR. See more information here.

- Typeahead and autocompletion components were reworked to cope with large amounts of data.

- Improvements to settings page: Users can now select more than one application when scoping the Custom events, Alert configurations or Maintenance windows in the "Application Perspective". The new "Application Perspective" scope is similar to using the Dynamic Focus query "entity.application.id:xxx". If more than one application is selected in the new "Application Perspective" scope, then an OR operator is used between the Dynamic Focus queries.
