Support a sampling or aggregation mechanism for the logging signal

Open codeboten opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

What are you trying to achieve?

The tracing signal provides a sampler configuration to reduce the amount of traces emitted by an application, it would be useful to provide a similar capability in the logging signal. Maybe an aggregation mechanism would be more appropriate for logging.

Looking through the specification for logs, I didn't come across anything like this which is why I'm opening the issue.

the "tracing" signal provides a "sampler" in the SDK, but for logging we do not have an SDK defined yet.

Is there a plan to add sampler in logging?
