Context Aware Tracing Logic

[iamemilio]

Whats New

Tracing is now context aware. This tool can recognize objects that contain new relic tracing, and intelligently pass tracing between functions depending on their arguments, and parameters. It will always follow these rules:

1. Go Easy Instrumentation will never add needless scope to function calls, so if a function gets its transaction from a complex/rich object, we will not pass that rich object to downstream function calls that do not already contain that object as an input. Instead, a transaction will be passed.
2. If an called function contains an object that we know can carry a transaction, this tool will opt to pass it on that object rather than adding more parameters to your function declaration.
3. This tool will always aim to be correct, and if it is unable to determine with certainty that an object contains a transaction, it will add one defensively. You will be alerted with a comment header in these cases.
