Instana has announced it has become the first provider of an application management platform (APM) to enable IT teams to automate the deployment of agent software to monitor IT environments using any Git repository of their choice. Jim Hirschauer, director of product management and sales enablement for Instana, said agent software used to instrument an IT environment, including software and infrastructure, can now use a Git repository to automate the configuration of agent software during startup and reboot in addition to being able to pin a specific version of Instana agent software to a branch within a Git repository. One of the challenges any DevOps team faces when instrumenting an IT environment is the agent software employed to collect data and metrics needs to be managed like any other piece of software. By adding support for Git repositories, Instana is making it possible to apply DevOps processes to the management of that agent software, he said.
