Google Cloud has a powerful tracing tool for analyzing latency of requests and RPCs. But it seems to just pick some requests that it finds deserving of traces. Sometimes that's good enough, you can just browse through existing traces. But if you are working on a performance enhancement, you want the trace on your particular query right now, you don't want to wait until it is deemed interesting.
Questions are
What rules intervene in deciding which queries are traced ?
Is there a way to ask for traces to be captured for a given URI ?
Either from within developer console, or by calling some API from within our application ? Or through some app.yaml configuration ? Or do we have to just wait and pray for the great algorithm to chose our request ?
