I would like to know if someone knows the minimum value allowed to set for the transaction_sample_rate property.
We have a service with high traffic load and we would like to set this value to 0.0002.
But when we reduce this value (is the 10% of the previous value setup) the amount of data ingested still remains the same, it seems the new config is not applied or is skipped by the apm-agent (java).
The catch is that we currently store transactions even if they are not sampled. I assume that's probably the bulk of whats in your indices. Only the spans for non-sampled transaction are omitted. We need this to calculate accurate percentiles and request per minute metrics.
