Yeah, it sounds like really cool technology. It doesn't seem so bad if it's on your own software since at least you can test with instana, although the potential for hard-to-debug mayhem is there.

Monkey-patching third party software will totally void the warranty on it. I've been involved in cases like this before and if there's any kind of weird bug that's conceivably related to the monkey-patching, it's hard to get help until you disable it.
