Custom namespaces for Elixir apps

Note: Support for custom namespaces was added in version 1.3.0 of the AppSignal for Elixir package. (As of writing, unreleased.)

For more information about what namespaces are, please see our namespaces documentation.

Configuring a namespace

Using the instrumentation decorators and helper functions it's possible to set a namespace for a transaction. This can currently only be configured when creating the transaction.

Once the namespace is set and the application is sending data to the AppSignal servers, the new namespace will appear in the navigation on AppSignal.com. Note: Data previously reported for the same action is not moved to the new namespace.

Please see the documentation for decorators or instrumentation helpers on how to configure a namespace.
