Recently the support for wildcard was introduced in the Symfony library to help developers turn-off monitoring in some parts of their applications using URL path.
/api/users*
It was already supported in the Laravel package.
I received a lot of feedback from our users to make it possible also for commands. And it’s what this library update is about.

Laravel/Symfony console command monitoring
Typically the console commands in the Laravel and Symfony frameworks are organized by namespace like:
make:migration
make:middleware
make:model
Before this release you have to manually add all the commands you want to exclude from your monitoring metrics in the inspector configuration file.
'ignore_commands' => [
'make:migration',
'make:middleware',
'make:model',
],
Ignore Console Commands With Wildcard
Now instead of forcing you to list all commands you want to ignore one by one we introduced the support for the wildcard character “*” to make this configuration a lot easier and the inspector configuration file shorter.
You can change the configuration above with a single line in the inspector configuration file:
'ignore_commands' => [
'make*',
],In the same way you did URLs:
'ignore_urls' => [
'api/users*',
