Summary
Before this change timers would generate spans, which means DB and DNS spans in recurring timers would be continuously generated and garbage-collected.
This commit checks the exact ngx phase and runs it against a whitelist of allowed phases to ensure the
timer
phase does not generate spans.Checklist
