Why

The fetch and xhr instruments create several span events for the different stages of an http request. For a lot of users it is not useful and creates unnecessary additional payload as well.

Faro's already tracks resource events so the data is redundant. Note: currently the resource instrumentation doesn't map the resource to its respective trace id

What

• Set ignoreNetworkEvents=true in the fetch and xhr instrumentation.
• Allow to enable network events via the local config of the WebTracingInstrumentation class.
• Document
