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/"/>
