Telemetry - Exclude Specific URLs (healthchecks) from being reported by sidecar

Policies and Telemetry
1

Is there any configuration to exclude healthtchecks (like k8s readiness or liveness probes or prometheus probs for spring boot actuator) from being reported by sidecar to telemetry system (Jaeger )?

In FAQ “https://istio.io/latest/faq/metrics-and-logs/#controlling-what-the-sidecar-reports”, there is a mention that is should be possible, but have no any reference to documentation ou configuration options on how to achieve that.

Thank You

I’m also interested in a way to exclude health checks from the telemetry to create better SLI/SLOs

The Telemetry API includes AccessLogging_Filter, should be able to solve this, bu i think need to wait until 1.13 release
