question: adaptive sampling

[funkycoding]

In the code i see this construct, i can't really figure out what i means, can someone explain this?

configuration.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder.UseAdaptiveSampling(5, excludedTypes: "Event");
configuration.TelemetryProcessorChainBuilder.UseAdaptiveSampling(5, includedTypes: "Event");

Regards,

it means that SDK will try to send not more than 5 Events per second and not more than 5 other types per second. So if you have a high thopughput app that serves hundreds of requests - you will collect information about subset of requests. If only handful of collected requests result in "Check out" event - those events will not be lost. Makes sense?

Basically sampling of diagnostics telemetry will not affect sampling of business telemetry

@SergeyKanzhelev Makes sense, thanks!
