I am working on springboot & AWS X-Ray integration, as part of this we pushed our code and deployed springboot app and x-ray deamon as a sidecar container in ESC Fargate task on production environmenet and everything works fine, however we dont need any x-ray support for lower environmenets like QA and STAGE so we are not deploying x-ray deamon; beacuse of that the existing code is not able to connect to x-ray deamon and throwing below exception.

How do we handle this kind of scnario where we can successfuly run the same code base on lower environments without removing X-Ray SDK code ? Is there any configuration exists to check and instrument only if X-ray deamon is running ? please shed some light here.
