Diversity sampling for Adaptive Traces
Easily and confidently optimize trace storage while ensuring even your smallest sets of traces are represented.
Diversity sampling captures at least one trace for each unique trace combination (fingerprint) within a fixed time window. These combinations are defined by attributes such as service, route, and status code. With this baseline coverage in place, you can reduce probabilistic sampling rates and avoid creating and managing additional policies just to make sure developers find the traces they need.
