Ignoring Scout Ruby transactions

There are a couple of approaches to ignore web requests and background jobs you don’t care to instrument. These approaches are listed below.

By the web endpoint path name

You can ignore requests to web endpoints that match specific paths (like /health_check). See the ignore setting in the configuration options.

In your code

To selectively ignore a web request or background job in your code, add the following within the transaction:

ScoutApm::Transaction.ignore!

Ignoring all background jobs

You can ignore all background jobs by setting enable_background_jobs: false in your configuration file. See the configuration options.
