Hello,

Can anyone clarify using of java agent for specific application. so far it is providing monitoring for all the application which is deployed.

I have used the following in bin/standalone.conf for Jboss.

export JAVA\_OPTS="$JAVA\_OPTS -javaagent:/path/to/elastic-apm-agent-\<version\>.jar"  
export JAVA\_OPTS="$JAVA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.service\_name=my-cool-service"  
export JAVA\_OPTS="$JAVA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.application\_packages=org.example,org.another.example"  
export JAVA\_OPTS="$JAVA\_OPTS -Delastic.apm.server\_urls=http://localhost:8200"

Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for your question.

you could use the [`ignore_urls`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/java/current/config-http.html#config-ignore-urls) option to ignore all urls which are mapped to the applications you don't want to monitor. For example if you have two applications which are mapped to `/foo` and `/bar` and you don't want to monitor the `bar` application, you can set `ignore_urls=/bar*`.

I hope this helps,  
Felix
