One of our services connects to a bank, and the requests are getting blocked because of these additional headers. Is there a way to disable them. I tried setting the use_elastic_traceparent_header property to false, but the headers are still present in every API call. Currently the request are ma…

Hi @e03c5fccb551b6833a65 Hmmm looking. [image] e03c5fccb551b6833a65: use_elastic_traceparent_header Yes that is not the correct setting, that just just add a header for backwards compatibility. I thought there was a setting to stop the outbound headers...but I don't see it... We will see …

Thank you for the reply. I hope there is some way.

There is no way to disable those at the moment. It's easy to add such basic functionality, however I doubt that having the ability to completely disable trace context headers would be very useful. More likely this will be useful to be done only for specific destinations, and this is a bit more tric…

@Eyal_Koren The problem is that it's very hard to convince banks to accept these headers, mostly impossible. We don't use the distributed tracing functionality, so we would need some mechanism to disable these headers.

OK, let me discuss this with the team and get back to you.

Following up on this - we discussed this option. What we are currently thinking is: adding a boolean config to disable headers injection on all outgoing requests, which means losing the distributed tracing capability on all downstream services (not affecting the ability to connect the transaction…

@Eyal_Koren Yes I think this is a reasonable solution. What I was asked about was the nearly identical to the use case the OP describes.

Thanks for confirming! :pray: OK then, I will add such option and share here for testing.

Thank you so much for the quick support :pray: . The config is working as expected.

WOW What service from @Eyal_Koren !!! Thanks @e03c5fccb551b6833a65 for your time, use case, and testing...
