Support scheduled tasks

[ghost]

Hello,
what would you think about adding support for scheduling tasks in Spring?

[felixbarny]

Creating Transactions for @Scheduled annotated methods which are within the application_packages sounds like a good idea. See also JaxRsTransactionNameInstrumentation for a similar implementation.

As a follow-up, creating spans for @Async annotated methods would also be cool, but requires on #145, which I'm currently working on.

Could you also support the Quartz Jobs in Spring using org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.QuartzJobBean?

[felixbarny]

Also consider javax.ejb.Schedule

Is this currently being worked on? If not, i could give this a try.

[felixbarny]

Sure, please go ahead. See https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/blob/master/apm-agent-plugins/apm-api-plugin/src/main/java/co/elastic/apm/agent/plugin/api/CaptureTransactionInstrumentation.java for a very similar implementation.

hi @fr1zle , is it work now?
I tested with:
@Scheduled(cron = "*/15 * * * * *")
@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 5)
but no transaction was created.

This is released as of 1.6.0. Note that you have to configure application_packages for it to work.
