Hello there,
is it possible to discard traces which have no spans assigned to them?
I am currently (manually) integrating APM in my .NET Framework WinForms application and I see a lot of traces which have no spans (which is correct and not the issue). Those traces have no value to me because I am only interested in traces which have exit spans for HTTP-calls or DB calls.
I haven't seen a setting in the APM agent or the server to discard souch traces automatically.
I looked into the Elastic.Apm.Api - but i haven't found a way to discard souch traces before they are sent to the APM server (IExecutionSegment.IsSampled is write protected). The only way i could think of is that i add a label no_spans if CurrentTransaction.SpanCount == 0 and somehow discard souch traces in an ingest pipeline.
Would this be a valid way or are there other ways I haven't seen?
Thanks
