Is there anything special in your setup? We have a load balancer in front of all APM pods
Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant):
Two issues:
-
We changed the transaction_sample_rate from 1 to 0.05. This has no effect on the disk space, I do see that some transactions have no samples in the APM UI. APM metrics are taking too much of disk space, around 2.5GB every minute. This is not scalable for us. Let us know if we are doing anything wrong with the parameter "transaction_sample_rate"
-
We are also seeing HTTP body being captured when the default value https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/config-core.html#config-capture-body clearly says it should be OFF.
