Does Dynatrace monitors Curl/Shell/echo script as processes via shell or process. If yes how can I exclude from monitoring them.

Thanks,

Tijust

[@Sujit](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/44916),

You should take a look at [https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/process-groups/configuration/set-up-proc…](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/process-groups/configuration/set-up-process-group-monitoring)

You can explicit define rules to not monitor them, but almost all shell scripts don’t run long enough to meet criteria for Dynatrace to consider them.

[@AntonioSousa](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/17213)&nbsp;thanks for your reply, I will setup rules accordingly. I hope this should work.

Thanks,
