How can I ignore many endpoints in Skylight?

Question

Skylight allows you to ignore a list of endpoints by specifying them in your skylight.yml (see Ignoring heartbeat endpoints). But this list doesn't support wildcards and I have a lot of endpoints I want to ignore-- what should I do?

Answer 1

Here's one solution-- create a Rake task to dynamically generate the list of endpoints you want to ignore:

task generate_ignored_endpoints_list_for_skylight: :environment do
  Rails.application.eager_load!
  ParentController.descendants.flat_map do |controller_class|
    controller_class.action_methods.map do |method_name|
      "#{controller_class.name}##{method_name}"
    end
  end.each do |name|
    puts name
  end
end

This will work well if the endpoints you want to ignore are grouped under a parent controller (e.g. Admin::ApplicationController if you're using Administrate).
