Settings API - Span attributes schema table

Span attributes (builtin:span-attribute)

We replaced this setting with Allowed attributes (<your-dynatrace-url>/builtin:attribute-allow-list) and Attribute data masking (<your-dynatrace-url>/builtin:attribute-masking) and migrated your data. This setting will be removed soon.

Changes in this setting will still be migrated to the new ones, but please be aware that we are not able to migrate certain changes such as attribute deletions.

If this attribute contains confidential data, turn on masking to conceal its value from users

Introduce more granular control over the visibility of attribute values.
Choose Do not mask to allow every user to see the actual value and use it in defining other configurations.
Choose Mask entire value to hide the whole value of this attribute from everyone who does not have 'View sensitive request data' permission. These attributes can't be used to define other configurations. Choose Mask only confidential data to apply automatic masking strategies to your data. These strategies include, for example, credit card numbers, IBAN, IPs, email-addresses, etc. It may not be possible to recognize all sensitive data so please always make sure to verify that sensitive data is actually masked. If sensitive data is not recognized, please use Mask entire value instead. Users with 'View sensitive request data' permission will be able to see the entire value, others only the non-sensitive parts. These attributes can't be used to define other configurations.
