Overview ¶
Package sampler contains all the logic of the agent-side trace sampling
Currently implementation is based on the scoring of the "signature" of each trace Based on the score, we get a sample rate to apply to the given trace
Current score implementation is super-simple, it is a counter with polynomial decay per signature. We increment it for each incoming trace then we periodically divide the score by two every X seconds. Right after the division, the score is an approximation of the number of received signatures over X seconds. It is different from the scoring in the Agent.
Since the sampling can happen at different levels (client, agent, server) or depending on different rules, we have to track the sample rate applied at previous steps. This way, sampling twice at 50% can result in an effective 25% sampling. The rate is stored as a metric in the trace root.
