Ignore yours or ignore all tracing of the Kafka plugin?

Just for the plugin of mine,not for all tracing

[wu-sheng]

No, there is no such mechanism. Tracing means tracing all related. You can't partial OFF, because they are the same at the instrumentation level. The plugin can't tell who is using it.
