Rails Data Export

[leoluchini]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on implementing opentelemetry-instrumentation-rails, and while it is functional, I would like to modify the way the data is exported.

Currently, when I check the dashboard with the data, it is grouped by controller name and action, as shown in the attached screenshot:

Instead of displaying the controller name and action, I would prefer to have the HTTP action and the path, such as GET /ping. Is this customization possible? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is my rails configuration

OpenTelemetry::SDK.configure do |c|
  c.service_name = ENV.fetch('OTEL_SERVICE_NAME')
  c.use_all('OpenTelemetry::Instrumentation::Rack' => { url_quantization: lambda { |path, _env| path.to_s } })
end

Feel free to let me know if you have any specific preferences or if there are additional details you'd like to include in the message.
