## Support custom trace ignore Here is an optional plugin `apm-trace-ignore-plugin` ## Introduce - The purpose of this plugin is to filter custom services which are expected to ignore from the tracing system. - You can set up multiple URL path patterns, The services matches these patterns means won't be traced and analysis by agent and collector. - The current matching rule follows `Ant Path` match style , like `/path/*`, `/path/**`, `/path/?`. - Copy `apm-trace-ignore-plugin-x.jar` to `agent/plugins`, restarting the `agent` can effect the plugin. ## How to configure There are two ways to configure ignore patterns. Settings through system env has higher priority. 1. Set through the system environment variable,you need to add `skywalking.trace.ignore_path` to the system variables, the value is the path that you need to ignore, multiple paths should be separated by `,` 2. Copy`/agent/optional-plugins/apm-trace-ignore-plugin/apm-trace-ignore-plugin.config` to `/agent/config/` dir, and add rules to filter traces ``` trace.ignore_path=/your/path/1/**,/your/path/2/** ```
