Question by Bert H. · Oct 02, 2014 at 11:38 PM ·

Excluding methods via a Sensor doesn't work

The Threading Sensor-Pack is responsible for the capturing of WithinThreadExecutor.execute of jboss.

I added an exclude (even tried a global exclude) on this method. I have put that method in a new Sensor Group "Excludes" which is placed as the first in the Sensor Placement list.

But still these methods show up in the purepaths. And since they are called a lot, purepaths get very large too. (BTW: They are not picked up by an auto-sensor, but really the Threading sensor-pack is responsible)

 

Hereby the export of a purepath with these methods still recorded.
AC2-cache-execute.dts

hi Bert,

this is actually intended behavior. some of the out-of-the-box sensors may not be easily excluded, because the PurePath visibility might be impacted. those execute() methods are in this category.

if you want to really exclude those methods, you have to directly exclude them in the sensor pack. for this to achieve you have to go into client debug mode (Ctrl-Shift-F9), edit the executor tagging sensor in the server settings -> sensor packs and add this exclusion rule to the very top.

best,
Christian
