Is there any way to configure the APM agent in compliance with the GPDR?  
Something like this: [Configure Real User Monitoring according to GDPR | Dynatrace Documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/real-user-monitoring/setup-and-configuration/web-applications/additional-configuration/configure-real-user-monitoring-according-to-gdpr/)

Hello,

Yes, you have several options:

In APM-Server you can disable this setting: [General configuration options | APM Server Reference [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/configuration-process.html#capture_personal_data) to not process IP / User Agent.

Agents have options as well to not send certain data (typically request body and headers); you need to look at the docs of your specific agent. This is how to to do it in the .NET agent, for instance: [HTTP configuration options | APM .NET Agent Reference [1.10] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/config-http.html#config-capture-body-content-types)

Finally, if you want to remove any other fields that you consider problematic, you can configure ingest node to add a new pipeline eg. to remove fields with a RemoveProcessor: [Parse data using ingest node pipelines | APM Server Reference [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/configuring-ingest-node.html)

Hope that helps!

thank you a lot! just to make sure, for the RUM-Agent currently (5.8.0) the only option is to use the [APM RUM Agent API - Filter Payload](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/rum-js/current/agent-api.html#apm-add-filter) function, or am I missing sth?

Cheers!
