Hello,

The span attribute needs to come in as a Request Attribute. If you are ingesting the traces into Dynatrace by utilizing the OneAgent, you can capture the spans via the Request Attribute, but not if you are using the API.

Check your span settings: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extend-tracing/span-settings

You can do filtering with Request Attributes as @Taylor-Sanchez wrote: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/platform-modules/applications-and-microservices/services/request-attributes
