Instana configuration

The Instana exporter allows you export data to Instana. Enabling it only requires you to add the instana namespace with a few seetings as follows:

{
   "version": 3,
   "extra_config": {
     "telemetry/instana": {
        "AgentHost": "localhost",
        "AgentPort": 46999
      }
    }
}
