database/sql: excluding Ping from database tracing

[MDrollette]

Would it be reasonable to make it configurable whether or not the Ping() call is traced on the DB conn? In my case Ping() is used in a service-level health check with a high call frequency, and those traces are just noise.

@MDrollette I think you should be able to ignore those traces by configuring the agent. See here. Please let me know if that fixes it for you.

[MDrollette]

ah, great. I didn't know that was a feature. It would still be preferable to not send them to the agent at all, since they have such high frequency, but I think that ignore list will be acceptable.

Great! If that is acceptable, then please close this issue. If not, let us know and we'll try and find another way.
