Steadybit allows users to integrate various monitoring tools, such as Instana, to observe the impact of chaos experiments on system health indicators. This blog post, the third in a series on "Integrating Metrics in Steadybit," provides guidance on setting up a connection to Instana, an automated Application Performance Management (APM) solution tailored for managing microservice and cloud-native applications. Instana tracks issues, incidents, and changes via its API, logging them during experiments, but does not interrupt processes since changes may be intentional. Configuration involves specifying an Instana base URL and API token within Steadybit's platform settings, enabling automatic observation of events in the Instana Event Log during experiments. This integration enhances security and control by allowing users to monitor data streams and experiment impacts.
