### Filtering

For filtering out specific traces, `mendix.tracing.filter` system property can be used. The specified spans and their sub-spans will be filtered out. `matchType` specifies how the name of the span is matched. Currently only `partial` is supported for `matchType` which checks if the span name contains the provided value.

Was this introduced in 11.5, or did we just forget to document it before?

Will you make a PR for 10.24.12 to update the documentation there as well?
(Once we have fixed the text on this PR!)

### Testing

To test the tracing you can use [Jaeger](https://www.jaegertracing.io/). For example, the all-in-one binary or Docker image. Jaeger will listen to the above endpoint by default.
