Can transactions be grouped?

Feedback
#1

I’ve just added performance monitoring to my node.js application (Nest.js using Express.js as engine) and it’s great, but GET requests with different URL parameters are getting logged as different transactions. So I get transactions like:

GET /api/v1/users/1/
GET /api/v1/users/2/
GET /api/v1/users/3/

You get the point. This makes them very hard to analyse as you can’t see how an endpoint is performing in general. Is there a way to define grouping in a simple way? I guess I could manually override Sentry and name transactions based on URL pattern when the request arrives, but honestly that sounds like a pretty crappy solution to me.

Are you already using the Express integration? There is an express integration that should help capture more spans and give better transaction names.

I also have the same issue, using the default integration for Express. Say an express route is set as app.get("/user/:id", method) then id is a parameter and all /user API calls should be grouped together. Looking at the docs, could not find anything on how to configure this. Any help would be great!
