Removing Anonymous Inner Class methods in PurePaths

hi Dave,

could you please also try to add the same exclusion rule to the Executor Tagging Sensor.

best,

Christian

hi Dave,

ok, now i see your issue. didn't realize so far that you want to exclude anonymous classes instrumented by the thread start tagging sensor.

you're right, many knowledge sensor specific instrumentations cannot be easily overridden, because it may break functionality.

so if you're sure what you're doing, you can do this:

• switch into client debug mode (set focus into cockpit and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 -> you'll see [DEBUG] in the lower right corner)
• go to server settings -> sensor packs
• edit thread start tagging sensor
• add your exclusions to the top of the ruleset as regular excludes, NOT as global excludes

you have to be aware, however, that for these classes there won't be any thread tagging then.

best,

Christian

None of the exclude methods seemed to stop the run() methods from showing up in the output. It seemed like the OOTB Thread Start Tagging couldn't be overridden in a custom sensor pack, even by "global exclude"

hi Dave,

anonymous classes always have this structure for the class name:

some.package.name.ClassName$

e.g.:

my.company.name.ImportantClass$1

so you can easily exclude them by creating an exclude rule, like this:

my.company.name.ImportantClass$   [starts]

hope this helps,
Christian

Hi Dave

If you disable OOTB Sensor Packs you will loose certain functionality, e.g: tagging PurePaths across threads.
Changing Sensor Packs is an option. But - in case it is an OOTB Sensor Pack you may break the functionality of this Sensor Pack. If it is a custom Sensor Pack then I propose not to modify that Sensor Pack but create your own Custom Sensor Pack that uses "global excludes" for methods that you dont want to have instrumented
