How do I resolve high memory overhead issues when instrumenting RxJava and Netflix Hystrix?

If you notice that the instrumentation of highly async environments like RxJava and Netflix Hystrix results in high memory overhead issues, please follow the workaround outlined below:

1) Stop the agent.


2) Add the following configuration in <agent-install-dir>/ver.x.x.x/conf/app-agent-config.xml under the <fork-config> section.

<excludes filter-type="STARTSWITH" filter-value="rx.internal/,rx.schedulers/"/>
<excludes filter-type="STARTSWITH" filter-value="com.netflix.hystrix/"/>


3) Restart the agent.
