Custom exclude rules prevent detection of business transactions that match certain criteria. You might want to use exclude rules in the following situations:

• Splunk AppDynamics detects business transactions that you do not want to monitor.
• To stay within agent and controller limits, you want to reduce the total number of business transactions.
• You need to suppress a default entry point to allow for the detection of a more precise entry point defined by a custom match rule.

You can customize existing rules or set up new rules. See Custom Match Rules.
