Fix `outcome` definition in `error-tracking.md` #824

Open gregkalapos opened 1 year ago

gregkalapos commented 1 year ago

In error-tracking.md the definition of how outcome is set contradicted what we define in tracing-transactions.md and in tracing-spans.md, especially the following:

Tracking an error that's related to a transaction does not impact its outcome.

This PR changes error-tracking.md to make it match the outcome definition from other parts of the spec (see links above). I think most agents already do this according to tracing-transactions.md and tracing-spans.md - so I expect we won't need to change any implementation in a specific agent.

If that's not the case, please raise it and let's discuss.
