Description

I have an nginx instance as reverse proxy running. This reverse proxy serves an endpoint (/v1/telemetry/) for other applications to send telemetry data.

I like to exclude this endpoint from sending telemetry data, since that's wasted space.

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by locating how this project instruments or filters reverse-proxy endpoints, then determine where the /v1/telemetry/ path could be excluded. Done should mean that requests to this endpoint no longer generate telemetry while other endpoints continue to do so.
