Configuration feedback from Controller to JVM Agent

Hi

This might appear to be a silly question especially because I believe I know the answer...

The scenario is that I have a JVM Tier instrumented with a Java Agent. This tier has some BT's that I do not want to instrument. Some of these generates a lot of traffic even though it's not of interest for my business monitoring.  So I go into the controller and exclude these BT's.

Now my question is: Will the JVM-agent know that I have excluded these BT's and stop reporting metrics for these transactions?  Or will it still continue to send the "excluded" metrics and leave it to the Controller to filter out these BT's?

Kjell-Einar,

It's at least implied in the documentation here

Warm regards,

The exclusion will be actioned on the agent side, so the agent will ignore the excluded activity.

Ok, thank you @Peter.Holditch. That was what I hoped for... Anyhow, do you know if this is documented anywhere?
