How to disable a specific path in Dashboard or Monitoring view

Problem

How can a specific path like /healthcheck be disregarded from Traffic Monitor or Dashboard traffic monitoring counts?


Resolution

For Traffic Monitor, please see KB 176389. Link.



For Dashboard and Monitoring.

There is no UI setting to disable collection on an individual port or path for the Real Time Monitoring data, which is what is used to populate the 8090 UI > Dashboard > Traffic section and 8090 UI > Monitoring view.


However, you can modify the policy used by such a path to accomplish that goal.

Example, in Policy Studio > Policies > Policy Library > Health Check policy, before the reflect message filter, add a Set Attribute Filter that sets attribute monitoring.enabled = false.

Note that changes to built in polices may be overwritten by future service packs or updates. In such an occurrence, your customization may need to be applied again.
