Set the name of the current transaction.
The first segment will be treated as the Transaction namespace,
and commonly contains the name of the framework.
**Notes:**
* At least 2 segments are required to light up the Transactions UI in APM
In the following example, you will see `/custom/transaction/name`
in the Transaction list.
```elixir
NewRelic.set_transaction_name("/Plug/custom/transaction/name")
```
"""
defdelegate set_transaction_name(name), to: NewRelic.Transaction.Reporter
@doc """
Report custom attributes on the current Transaction
Reporting nested data structures is supported by auto-flattening them
into a list of key-value pairs.
```elixir
NewRelic.add_attributes(foo: "bar")
# "foo" => "bar"
NewRelic.add_attributes(map: %{foo: "bar", baz: "qux"})
# "map.foo" => "bar"
# "map.baz" => "qux"
# "map.size" => 2
NewRelic.add_attributes(list: ["a", "b", "c"])
# "list.0" => "a"
# "list.1" => "b"
# "list.2" => "c"
# "list.length" => 3
```
**Notes:**
* Nested Lists and Maps are truncated at 10 items since there are a limited number
of attributes that can be reported on Transaction events

Start a new "Other" Transaction.
This will begin monitoring the current process as an "Other" Transaction
(ie: Not a "Web" Transaction). The first argument will be considered
the "category", the second is the "name".
Examples:
```elixir
NewRelic.start_transaction("GenStage", "MyConsumer/EventType")
NewRelic.start_transaction("Task", "TaskName")
```
**Notes:**
* Don't use this to track Web Transactions - for that,
`use NewRelic.Transaction` in your Plug pipeline so that we can properly
categorize as Web Transactions in the UI.
* Do _not_ use this for processes that live a very long time, doing so
will risk a memory leak tracking attributes in the transaction!
* You can't start a new transaction within an existing one. Any process
spawned inside a transaction belongs to that transaction.
* If multiple transactions are started in the same Process, you must
call `NewRelic.stop_transaction()` to mark the end of the transaction.

Store information about the type of work the current span is doing.

You must manually instrument outgoing HTTP calls to connect them to a Distributed Trace.
The agent will automatically read request headers and detect if the request is a part
of a Distributed Trace, but outgoing requests need an extra header:
```elixir
HTTPoison.get(url, ["x-api-key": "secret"] ++ NewRelic.distributed_trace_headers(:http))
```
**Notes:**
* Call `NewRelic.distributed_trace_headers` immediately before making the
request since calling the function marks the "start" time of the request.

To get detailed information about a particular process, you can install a Process sampler.
You must tell the Agent about your process from within the process.
For a `GenServer`, this function call should be made in the `init` function:
```elixir
defmodule ImportantProcess do
use GenServer
def init(:ok) do
NewRelic.sample_process
{:ok, %{}}
end
end
```
Once installed, the agent will report `ElixirSample` events with:
* `category = "Process"`
* `message_queue_length`
* `reductions`
* `memory_kb`
