Settings API - Span attributes schema table

Span attributes (`builtin:span-attribute)`

While Dynatrace automatically captures all OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry span attributes, it only stores span attribute values when the related keys are specified in the allow-list below. By omitting personal data you can meet your organization's privacy requirements and control the amount of stored monitoring data.
