Ruby trace context in queries

Adding trace context to application queries provides the ability to correlate the queries from a traced transaction, and if sampled, the queries to the transaction trace detail. This feature is also a requirement for the integration of APM with DBO.

Enabling

Trace context propagation to queries is disabled by default. It can be enabled in the Ruby Library using this configuration option:

Trace context is inserted only for statements from a transaction sampled for detailed tracing.

Trace context is not inserted into server-side prepared statements and stored procedures.
