Alter the metrics.ear app to show metrics per instance in zOS WAS ND

Hi,

We use WebSphere AS ND in zOS platform.

In version 9.0.5, it comes with a metrics.ear app to expose metrics in prometheus format.

The problem is that if we have multiple WAS instances configured, it sums up the metrics and in that case we cant analise it....

My suggestion is to split the metrics per instance, so we can get the metrics (heap/threads/and so on....) by instance of WAS.

    Thank you for the suggestion. The requirement does have merit, however, the assessment provided in the support case that it might not be a big piece of work was incorrect, and looking at it with respect to our total backlog of requests we do not see sufficient interest in this enhancement to merit delivery any time in the foreseeable future. Given the unlikelihood that we would deliver this, we are declining the request rather than leaving it in an uncommitted state for an extended period of time. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.
