SamplingRateLimit

object1 direct reference

Definition

Rate limit is helpful to avoid ingesting extremely large amounts of spans when the sampling conditions are triggering much more frequently than expected. For example, when the tail sampling rule is configured to match every error, then a system-wide outage can result in a huge amount of spans being ingested.

Note: Probabilistic-only sampling rules do not support rate limiting.

integerrequired

The maximum number of traces per minute that should be allowed for this sampling rule. Dash0 will make every effort not to exceed this rate. However, there is also no guarantee that Dash0 will match exactly this rate. Dash0 is attempting to hit a rate that is lower than or equal to the configured rate.

Dash0 cannot guarantee that very low rate limits (<=16) are upheld.
