What information is typically not included in a flare?

In the context of a flare, which is a diagnostic package that can be created in Datadog to assist in troubleshooting issues, the information typically included encompasses a variety of relevant data points that help support teams understand the operational state of applications and systems. The agent configuration details, application performance metrics, and the collected logs of the agent are all essential elements captured in a flare to provide a comprehensive overview of the environment.

Tracer debug logs, however, are not generally included in flares. This is because tracer logs are more granular and focused on specific tracing functionality and performance profiling, which may not be necessary for a broad diagnostic overview. Instead, flares prioritize data that reflects the overall health and functioning of the Datadog agent and the monitored systems, rather than the detailed specifics of tracing calls or transactions.
