Require parent spans for database and HTTP

Feb 05, 2026
Node.js3.7.4

Changed

  • Require parent spans on database and outgoing HTTP instrumentations that support it. When a database query is performed using the ioredis, pg, redis or mongoose libraries, or when an outgoing HTTP request is performed using the http module, a span will only be created if a trace has already been started in the current active context, that is, if the span to be created would have a parent.

    This helps prevent database queries and outgoing HTTP requests happening in uninstrumented contexts from counting towards your requests quota.

Fixed

  • Add support for Koa v3.
