Stack Serverless Observability APM Agent Java

`span_compression_enabled`

APM Agent Java 1.30.0

Setting this option to true will enable span compression feature. Span compression reduces the collection, processing, and storage overhead, and removes clutter from the UI. The tradeoff is that some information such as DB statements of all the compressed spans will not be collected.

Default	Type	Dynamic
`true`	Boolean	true

`span_compression_exact_match_max_duration`

APM Agent Java 1.30.0

Consecutive spans that are exact match and that are under this threshold will be compressed into a single composite span. This option does not apply to composite spans. This reduces the collection, processing, and storage overhead, and removes clutter from the UI. The tradeoff is that the DB statements of all the compressed spans will not be collected.

Supports the duration suffixes ms, s and m. Example: 50ms.

Default	Type	Dynamic
`50ms`	TimeDuration	true

`span_compression_same_kind_max_duration`

APM Agent Java 1.30.0

Consecutive spans to the same destination that are under this threshold will be compressed into a single composite span. This option does not apply to composite spans. This reduces the collection, processing, and storage overhead, and removes clutter from the UI. The tradeoff is that the DB statements of all the compressed spans will not be collected.

Supports the duration suffixes ms, s and m. Example: 0ms.

Default	Type	Dynamic
`0ms`	TimeDuration	true

`exit_span_min_duration`

APM Agent Java 1.30.0

Exit spans are spans that represent a call to an external service, like a database. If such calls are very short, they are usually not relevant and can be ignored.

Note

If a span propagates distributed tracing ids, it will not be ignored, even if it is shorter than the configured threshold. This is to ensure that no broken traces are recorded.

Supports the duration suffixes us, ms, s and m. Example: 0ms.

Default	Type	Dynamic
`0ms`	TimeDuration	true
