A self-hosted Instana backend installation fails. Which checks should be carried out?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You need to check the documented prerequisites, backend service status, storage, certificates, and connectivity. Most self-hosted Instana backend install failures show up in those five areas.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is confirming documented prerequisites, backend service status, storage, certificates, and connectivity. These five areas cover most backend installation failures, and checking them in order surfaces the cause without speculation.
Assuming a licensing problem and requesting a new entitlement before investigating is wrong because it skips evidence and delays the real fix.
Proceeding past failed prerequisite checks as advisory is wrong because those checks prevent installations that cannot work.
Tuning alert rules first is wrong because alerting depends on a running backend, which is the failed component.
Exam caveat: memorise the five check areas.
