This introduces a new option for the graphqlIntegration, useOperationNameForRootSpan, which is by default true but can be disabled in integration settings like this: Sentry.graphqlIntegration({ useOperationNameForRootSpan: true }).

With this setting enabled, the graphql instrumentation will update the http.server root span it is in (if there is one) will be appended to the span name. So instead of having all root spans be POST /graphql, the names will now be e.g. POST /graphql (query MyQuery).

If there are multiple operations in a single http request, they will be appended like POST /graphql (query Query1, query Query2), up to a limit of 5, at which point they will be appended as +2 or similar.

Closes #13238

Should we be concerned about transaction name cardinality here? This is a client-controlled field supporting arbitrary values. I'm not sure true is a safe default. At the very least we should advise that useOperationNameForRootSpan be false for public APIs, but it's only really cardinality-safe if your API only permits allowlisted queries.

@mjq I would consider gql queries like these to be low cardinality. Why would you say this is hight cardinality? I think this is comparable to normal api route paths (?).

I agree - remember this is only using the operation name, not the query. So e.g. if your query is this:

query MyQuery(id) {
  user(id): User
}

it would only capture query MyQuery, which should not be too high cardinality.

@lforst @mydea If your only client is internal, it ought to be low cardinality and work well as a grouping mechanism. If it's a public API, every caller will use their own query names, meaning cardinality is effectively unbounded (and it seems less useful as a grouping mechanism since you don't control the grouping yourself). And every API is de facto a public API without further defence mechanisms 😅

The main differences from e.g. rest API URLs is that a well-configured SDK is immune to high cardinality no matter what a client sends, and a poorly-configured one can still have its cardinality reduced by our URL normalizer.

It's fine if the answer is "no we shouldn't be concerned", and treat this as an unlikely hypothetical. We aren't forwarding the cardinality cost to users so e.g. malicious use only affects Sentry, not our users' wallets, and we're giving anyone with concerns an off switch.

Ah, I see what you mean.
My POV is that users can turn this off, and I'd say it is def. better with this setting than without for the vast majority of cases. Right now the cardinality is low to the point of it being useless - you just see POST /graphl as transaction name for every issue etc, and literally all your graphql queries will be grouped into a single transaction, which is also def. not helpful :D

There is one thing that needs addressing, otherwise lgtm!

sorry, had a comment here earlier but changed it again - this check was actually wrong, because this can be 0 which is valid, but we interpreted this as no kind before.
