Hi all. I keep getting the following in syslog

```auto
Elastic APM PHP Tracer [PID: 3234] 2021-12-03 11:57:31.455829+02:00 [WARNING] [Public-API] [Tracer.php:224] [beginTransactionWithBuilder] Received reque

```

I presume that that is caused by the automatic tooling and the manual transactions conflicting.  
Is it an issue?  
How do I make it go away.  
I've implemented the following and restarted php-apm but no luck.  
`elastic_apm.transaction_ignore_urls = * (edited)`

Anyone have any idea about this?
