Selecting which instances to monitor

The PATROL Agent allows you to monitor an application while allowing you to include and exclude certain instances. The ability to filter instances in or out gives you the flexibility to monitor exactly what you want. This filtering feature permits you to enter the exceptions rather than create exhaustive lists of instances that constitute the rule.
