Configuration and Control Plane
In the previous chapters, we learned how to enable auto-instrumentation with a few lines of code and leverage collected telemetry to debug issues and monitor performance. Auto-collected traces and metrics provide the basis for your observability solution, but they are rarely sufficient without an application context. In this chapter, we’ll learn how to customize telemetry collection – enrich, adjust, or control its volume. We will dive into the following topics:
- Controlling costs with sampling
- Enriching and filtering telemetry
- Customizing context propagation
