fix(otelgorm): added optional db key to skip tracing #120

Open WilliamDeKeyzer opened 8 months ago

WilliamDeKeyzer commented 8 months ago

Sometimes there are database operations ongoing that are continuously ongoing and are completely irrelevant for tracing UIs. You just don't want useless traces to be present in this case, as it generates a lot of noise.

With the custom key (which is exported from this lib) you can now set it in the relevant parts of your own codebase. db.Set(otelgorm.EnabledTraceDatabaseKey, false)

This will make sure the next queries towards this db object will not start new traces.

Do not forget to un-set this db key is other clals happen on this db object and you do want to trace those. db.Set(otelgorm.EnabledTraceDatabaseKey, true)
