Description

Implement a pattern that's working well in the node agent:

  • Process recording is enabled by default
  • If a request, remote, or test recording begins, the process recording is aborted
  • Process recording can be further controlled with env var APPMAP_RECORDER_PROCESS_ALWAYS
    • When truthy, process recording remains enabled even if another recording method would otherwise abort it.
    • When falsey, process recording does not begin on startup.
