Is there any way to not trace the certain HTTP verbs,for example OPTIONS request before each CORS request?

Sorry, I totally overlooked this one.

So, unfortunately no, it's not possible. Here is a discussion about something similar: [https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/418](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-dotnet/issues/418). At the moment nothing is implemented from that.
