To lower the load of the apm logging we would like to exclude our monitoring urls. I've tried to make that happen with TransactionIgnoreUrls in de config but for some reason, I can't get it to work. According to the docs I should provide a list of string. Below is the configuration I used (one of my attempts). What I would like to do is exclude the ping endpoint for starters but eventually end up with all endpoints containing /status/ in the url

"ElasticApm__TransactionSampleRate": "1.0",
"ElasticApm__Enabled": "true",
"ElasticApm__Environment": "Development",
"ElasticApm__SecretToken": "some token",
"ElasticApm__ServerUrls": "serverurl",
"ElasticApm__VerifyServerCert": "FALSE",
"ElasticApm__ServiceName": "MyApi"
"ElasticApm__TransactionIgnoreUrls": [
  "*pin*"
],

Startup.cs

app.UseAllElasticApm(Configuration);

The above does not filter out our endpoint (also tried with "ping", "/ping", "status", "/status" and lots of other possibilities) as it is still visible in the apm dashboard.

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I have no idea what it could be.

1. The configs should be a comma separated string. I just looked at the docs and indeed it's a bit confusing. So it must be "UrlToIgnore1, UrlToIgnore2" (the agent will parse this internally) and not an array like ["UrlToIgnore1", "UrlToIgnore2"]. So in your case it should be just "*pin*" and if you want to attach another value to ignore, just add it to the string after a comma (,).
2. Where do you put the configs you pasted here? This double underscore format is an environment variable which you set, right? If so, just put "*pin*" to ElasticApm__TransactionIgnoreUrls, In case you use appsettings.json here is how it should look:

"ElasticApm": {
  "TransactionIgnoreUrls": "*pin*"
}
