      • always_off: the agent will not sample spans
      • default: the agent will rely on existing priority sampling to make its decisions
    • distributed_tracing.sampler.remote_parent_not_sampled(when the traceparent sampled flag is 00)
      • always_on: the agent will sample spans
      • always_off: the agent will not sample spans
