Configure Nightwatch

This handles the full spectrum of Nightwatch configuration, from sampling strategies to PII redaction. You'll want this when your production trace volume gets expensive or you're capturing sensitive data you shouldn't be storing. The filtering flow is well explained: sampling controls which requests/commands start a trace, filtering drops specific event types after sampling, and redaction scrubs what you do keep. Includes practical patterns for route-based sampling (always sample checkout, never sample health checks), regex-based query filtering to ignore job table noise, and cache key patterns to skip session data. The three-stage pipeline diagram alone makes the sampling vs. filtering distinction clear, which most people get wrong initially.
