Summary
We have some applications with a few requests/transactions that happen very frequently and are consistently fast. We are paying for data ingest that is not useful information, and would still like to have sampling on those hosts/processes, but LESS of it for certain processes.
Desired Behavior
It would be very useful to have something like newrelic_ignore_transaction() that ONLY disables the collection of span/transaction tracing data, and/or a way to easily decrease how many transactions are picked for sampling to reduce the noise, while ensuring that we do NOT increase the likelihood of incomplete traces with missing parents/uninstrumented time.
I'd like to see the Transaction record, but don't need thousands and thousands of transaction traces for the same thing happening, when it always processes smoothly. It could be considered the opposite of marking something as a "key" transaction such that it is sampled less often.
Possible Solution
newrelic_disable_span_events() function could be added.
