Specifications

IgnoreEvents Clause
The name of the application executable whose events you want to ignore. If
you specify an executable name, Application Response ignores the specified
events only for that executable. If an event is performed by another
executable of the same resource type, Application Response does not ignore it
but includes its data in the response time measurements for a monitored
transaction. (See Examples.) If you want Application Response to ignore an
event for all executables, omit the ExecutableName="executable-name"
clause.
Note: If you include the ExecutableName="executable-name" clause in an
additional resource statement, you must include a second resource statement
for that resource type that does not include the ExecutableName clause. The
second resource statement ensures that Application Response measures
events that are not specified as ignored for a particular executable.
ignore-events-list
A list of one or more events that Application Response is to ignore when
measuring the response time of a monitored transaction. Separate events with
commas; enclose the list of events within quotation marks ( " ).
You cannot ignore Start or Stop events for any type of resource.
resource-type
The resource type whose events you want to ignore.
Examples
Example 1: The following resource definition for a custom Windows
application includes two IgnoreEvents. As a result of this rule set, Application
Response monitors the response time of any Windows and Connection events
that are generated by the EMPMGT1 and EMPMGT2 processes as part of
monitored transactions. When monitoring transactions, however, Application
Response does not include response time for the Destroy event (from either
EMPMGT 1 or EMPMGT2), if it occurs. It also does not include response time
for the ButtonPress event when it is generated by the EMPMGT1 process.
(ButtonPress events generated by EMPMGT2 are included in a transaction's
total response time, however.)
