Settings – global filters

These settings are available in the menu in Settings / Advanced / Global filters. A common filter for all applications is configured here. By default, it is set to ignore requests for static objects such as images, CSS styles, and so on. Usually, it is necessary to monitor user application transactions and there is therefore no need to monitor queries for static objects. Also, the 404 error code is ignored by default, which means that the client requested a non-existent page. From the perspective of APM, we are usually interested in monitoring existing pages and it is not beneficial to include all accesses in the statistics, including those to non-existent pages.

Settings can be modified using the Edit filters button. You can find a description of filters under heading Filter of Chapter Filter settings.
