| DD_CAPTURE_LAMBDA_PAYLOAD_MAX_DEPTH | Determines the level of detail captured from AWS Lambda payloads, which are then assigned as tags for the `aws.lambda` span. It specifies the nesting depth of the JSON payload structure to process. Once the specified maximum depth is reached, the tag's value is set to the stringified value of any nested elements beyond this level.
For example, given the input payload:
{If the depth is set to `2`, the resulting tag's key is set to `function.request.lv1.lv2` and the value is `{\"lv3\": \"val\"}`.
"lv1" : {
"lv2": {
"lv3": "val"
