Is there anyway to filter out metadata.google.internal:80/* traces? I was hoping to filter them as they create a load of noise but the Telemetry API is undocumented so not sure what to use.

After searching around, I think I can get it to work with:
apiVersion: telemetry.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: Telemetry
metadata:
name: mesh-default
namespace: istio-system
spec:
selector:
mode: CLIENT
tracing:
- randomSamplingPercentage: 0 # spans still reported, but sampler disabled
Mode is undocumented in the normal Istio docs, but found it here.
@dansiviter I’m seeing this late. Your solution disables all client-side sampling, IIUC. Is that intentional, or are you looking for a more targeted disablement? The Telemetry API is still in its infancy. It’d be great to see if we were heading in the right direction (in general, as well as for your particular use case).
