Disable reporting spans for actuator endpoints

Hi guys,

Reposting this here.

When using Opentracing with Jaeger for Spring Cloud Gateway with actuator endpoints enabled (e.g. /actuator/health for K8s readiness probe), all calls to the actuator endpoints produce a span. Is there a way to disable this behaviour?

Config:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.opentracing.contrib</groupId>
            <artifactId>opentracing-spring-jaeger-cloud-starter</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.0</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.opentracing.contrib</groupId>
            <artifactId>opentracing-spring-cloud-starter</artifactId>
            <version>0.3.2</version>
        </dependency>

Cheers, Marius

Endpoints can be manually excluded as well, see: https://github.com/opentracing-contrib/java-spring-web/blob/master/opentracing-spring-web-starter/src/test/resources/application-test.yml#L22

But definitely the actuator endpoints should not be taken into account

Thanks @pavolloffay and @geoand for the replies.

Per default, the actuator health endpoint is already ignored in the skip pattern, which is fine. However, the queries for the healthiness of a database (e.g. Mysql or Mongo) produce a span, which are invoked as part of the request to /actuator/health.
