[FEATURE]: Best practice for temporarily pausing tracing

Package Version(s)

N/A

Describe the goal of the feature

I can't find in the documentation information on how to "pause" the current
tracer.

My use case is that I use some external package that has a relatively big stack
trace that I don't care about, and would thus prefer to omit it because it adds
too much data.

Describe the goal of the feature

It would be great to add in the documentation information on how to perform the
above.

By reading the docs I came across:

• tracer.shutdown()
• followed by tracer.configure(enabled=True)

as a possible alternative. But I am alarmed by calling tracer.shutdown().

More clarification on this through docs would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
