How to exclude APM self sent events capturing

Elastic Observability APM
1

Hi! I like a lot solution with elastic APM. I've configured tracing request through microservice gateway to microservices. Tracing timeline visualization looks great. But sometimes POST apm-server:8200/intake/v2/events breaks it.

How can i exclude it from timeline?

Hi Arsalan,

Thank you for your interest in Elastic APM!
Which agent are you using? Which version?

best,

Hi Arsalan

Thanks for reporting this issue. The Node.js agent should automatically ignore requests to the APM Server so that they are not recorded. So it looks like you've encountered a bug.

Can I ask what you've configured the serverUrl config option to?

APM running in docker container with name apm-server.
Node app running in container with link to apm-server and enviroment variable ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL=http://apm-server:8200.
serverUrl option is not set.

I've created a bug report for this on the agent repo: https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-nodejs/issues/732

I'm currently investigating and will follow up once I know more.

Once again thanks for reporting this :slight_smile:
