Description of changes:
Starlette Instrumentorutilizes theOpenTelemetryMiddlewareinstrumentation to capture all events generated by ASGIRequest received, Response headers sent (http.response.start), Response body sent (http.response.body)which leads to a lot of span noises for streaming events:Luckily, the upstream
OpenTelemetryMiddlewareprovides a configuration in the constructor to suppress these instrumentations: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib/blob/51da0a766e5d3cbc746189e10c9573163198cfcd/instrumentation/opentelemetry-instrumentation-asgi/src/opentelemetry/instrumentation/asgi/__init__.py#L573Enabling this for Agent Observability to help filter out noise.
Related issue for removing the need for this patch in the long term, using the proposed
