Filter/Limit Transactions Before Send

Hello, I’ve done quite a bit of searching and can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I enabled performance monitoring by setting traces_sample_rate > 0. However, I’d like to be able to filter some things from being recorded as transactions (health checks endpoints, …). Is it possible to do this?

Within a view you can do:

def hello_world():
    with configure_scope() as scope:
        if scope.transaction:
            scope.transaction.sampled = False

That will prevent the view from being sent.

@untitaker thanks for the response. This will resolve my immediate needs. A few ideas/suggestions:

• it would be great to document this along w/ the performance monitoring docs
• it would be ideal to have this at the sentry.init level, something like transaction_exclude_list = ["/healhz", ...]
• if not able to include this in a list it could be great to have a decorator @exclude_sentry_transaction or something

Thanks!
