Bug Report

Exceptions that our code does handle (eventually) in the caller of the method that is decorated with @tracer.wrap() are treated as errors by APM. This leads to excessive numbers of APM issue events logged by our monitors and showing up in Datadog APM error tracker. Instead, we desire only uncaught exceptions to be treated as APM errors.

For example, in our Flask web app this code can catch an AuthenticationRequiredError:

    try:
      process()

      httpCode = 200
    except BadRequestError:
      httpCode = 400
    except AuthenticationRequiredError:
      httpCode = 401
    except UnsupportedMediaType:
      httpCode = 415
    except Exception: # XXX: Return properly to the caller even under duress
      httpCode = 500

but where it is raised is logged as an error:

In addition, for celery tasks that raise a retry, every such raise is treated as an error by @tracer.wrap()
