Allow toggling instrumentations as is done in the Java instrumentation.
New environment variable
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_COMMON_DEFAULT_ENABLED
(default:true
). When set tofalse
, prevents the loading of all embedded (the ones we ship with the distro) instrumentations. This can be used to selectively switch on instrumentations, e.g.OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_COMMON_DEFAULT_ENABLED=false OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_PG_ENABLED=true
will only enablepg
instrumentation.New environment variables with the pattern
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_[NAME]_ENABLED
, where[NAME]
is the instrumentation name (see the below table). E.g.OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_PG_ENABLED=false
will just disablepg
instrumentation.All environment variables are case-insensitive, i.e.
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_pg_ENABLED
is the same asOTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_PG_ENABLED
.
