With this PR, the
sample_rate
,transaction
client report is now consistently emitted at the time when the root span is sampled.Previously, in Node (OTEL) we did not emit this at all, while in browser we emit it at span end time. This is inconsistent and not ideal. Emitting it in OTEL at span end time is difficult because
span.end()
is a no-op there and you do not get access to it anywhere. So doing it at span start (=sample time) is easier, and also makes more sense as this is also actually the time when the span is dropped.
