Exclude transactions from monitoring


In an web application, few URLs (static pages, js files, images, etc) do not require performance monitoring.

Such URLs can be excluded from monitoring using two ways,

Exclude by URL extensions

  • Login to Applications Manager account. Under the APM tab, access the required application/instance, then go to ActionEditAPM Insight Agent Configuration Profile and select Edit - APM Insight Agent Configuration Profile.
  • Scroll down to the field 'List of URL extensions to be skipped from tracking'
  • Specify the URL extensions, to be excluded from performance monitoring

Exclude by regex

  • Login to Applications Manager account. Under the APM tab, access the required application/instance, then go to ActionEditAPM Insight Agent Configuration Profile and select Edit - APM Insight Agent Configuration Profile.
  • Scroll down to the field 'Skip Transactions'
  • Specify the valid regexes (comma separated). All the URLs matching these patterns will not be monitored by the agent.
