If you are asking about a problem you are experiencing, please use the following template, as it will help us help you. If you have a different problem, please delete all of this text 🙂

**Kibana version** : 7.6.2

**Elasticsearch version** : 7.6.2

**APM Server version** : 7.6.2

**APM Agent language and version** : Ruby 3.6.0

**Browser version** : Chrome

**Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, deb, from source, etc.) and version** :

**Fresh install or upgraded from other version?** : fresh install

**Is there anything special in your setup?** For example, are you using the Logstash or Kafka outputs? Are you using a load balancer in front of the APM Servers? Have you changed index pattern, generated custom templates, changed agent configuration etc.

**Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior. Please include screenshots (if relevant)** : Hello, I'm running Rails 5.0 and was wondering if there is a way to disable the sending of metrics for specific transactions. For example, my app has a health controller for health checks, and I don't want agents to send metrics for this endpoint to the apm server. Can I do this? Is it possible to simply add a before\_action callback on the health controller that ends the current transaction? Thanks!

**Steps to reproduce** :  
1.

**Errors in browser console (if relevant)** :
