=== TTL
Time-to-live (TTL) for trace events stored in the local storage of the APM Server during tail-based sampling. This TTL determines how long trace events are retained in the local storage while waiting for a sampling decision to be made. A greater TTL value increases storage space requirements. Should be at least 2 * Interval (`sampling.tail.interval`).

Default: `30m` (30 minutes). (duration)
