Huge Traces configuration options

edit

span_compression_enabled ( [1.30.0] Added in 1.30.0. )

edit

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.

dynamic config

Default Type Dynamic

true

Boolean

true
Java System Properties Property file Environment

elastic.apm.span_compression_enabled

span_compression_enabled

ELASTIC_APM_SPAN_COMPRESSION_ENABLED

span_compression_exact_match_max_duration ( [1.30.0] Added in 1.30.0. )

edit

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.

dynamic config

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

Default Type Dynamic

50ms

TimeDuration

true
Java System Properties Property file Environment

elastic.apm.span_compression_exact_match_max_duration

ELASTIC_APM_SPAN_COMPRESSION_EXACT_MATCH_MAX_DURATION

span_compression_same_kind_max_duration ( [1.30.0] Added in 1.30.0. )

edit

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.

dynamic config

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

Default Type Dynamic

0ms

TimeDuration

true

ELASTIC_APM_SPAN_COMPRESSION_SAME_KIND_MAX_DURATION

exit_span_min_duration ( [1.30.0] Added in 1.30.0. )

edit

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.

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.

dynamic config

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

Default Type Dynamic
