I'm unsure if this is a feature request or lack of documentation/examples that show this, but I'm trying to control the operation that's passed on Datadog APM. It appears that this value is always static and not configurable, but it is a field that's meant to be configurable from a Datadog APM perspective. As an example, if you auto instrument a Java webservice with the trace agent you'll end up with multiple operations, some examples are servlet.request, redis, grpc.client, etc. I'm interested in configuring something similar to that from this rust library.

What component are you working with?

opentelemetry-datadog

Describe the solution you'd like:
