feat(spans): Add sentry.category normalization for V2 spans#5533
Merged
Conversation
…pans Adds `normalize_span_category` function to the EAP normalization pipeline that writes `sentry.category` into span attributes. The category is derived using the same logic as V1 span processing: - From `sentry.op` via `span_op_to_category` (now public) - From span attributes (db.system.name, http.request.method, etc.) The function is called after `normalize_sentry_op` to ensure the op is available for category derivation. The category attribute is used by Sentry's Insights modules to filter spans. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <[email protected]>
