Unable to turn off transaction traces

Issue/Introduction

We have recently received requests to disable traces in Production for certain middleware Java agents. We attempted to do the same by putting in the following properties in the introscopeAgent.Profile file

introscope.agent.deep.trace.enabled=false

introscope.agent.deep.automatic.trace.enabled=false

introscope.agent.deep.automatic.trace.crossprocess.enabled=false

introscope.agent.transactiontracer.sampling.enabled=false

However, these properties were not able to get rid of all the app generated traces.

Resolution

Set introscope.agent.ttClamp=0,

Additional Information

You can individually stop all the following traces:

Discovery traces	introscope.agent.auto.discovery.trace.enabled=false
Automatic (threshold) traces	introscope.agent.deep.automatic.trace.enabled=false
Deep tracing overall	introscope.agent.deep.trace.enabled=false
Sampling traces	introscope.agent.transactiontracer.sampling.enabled=false
Stall snapshots	introscope.agent.stalls.enable=false
Error snapshots	introscope.agent.errorsnapshots.enable=false
