Note:

This feature requires configuring the service.instance.id attribute in your agent. This attribute is set by default by the Java, .NET, and Node.js agent instrumentation.

For more information on the service.instance.id attribute, see Service in the OpenTelemetry documentation. To manually set the attribute, refer to the language-specific page for your agent under Language APIs & SDKs in the OpenTelemetry documentation.

To view all instances related to your service:

  1. Access the service view for your service.

  2. Select the Instances tab.

The Instances tab displays a searchable table with a list of the instances related to your service and their request, error, and duration (RED) metrics.

Select the Requests, Errors, or Latency(P90) headers on the table to display the charts for each metric and sort the instances in ascending or descending order based on the metric values. Alternatively, you can select a row on the table to view the Requests & Errors and Latency charts for that service instance.
