Remove Bad Endpoints

Akto gives user options to ignore the static files endpoints or endpoints having default payloads.This documentation is essential for users looking to maintain a clean and efficient endpoint inventory in their Akto setup.
We have two methods for removing bad endpoints from your inventory:

1. Select file type
2. Add default payloads

2. Click on the Select redundant url types button in More settings section on the page.

File type button

3. Select the File types which you want to ignore and akto will ignore those endpoints from the future. You can also remove some default types we ignore.

Adding default payloads

1. Navigate to Settings. Then open Default payloads tab in the left nav.
2. Click on Add your own and then enter the domain name of the urls you want to ignore.

The above example has 'app.getbeamer.com' as domain name

3. After adding domain name, enter the regex for response payload.

4. Now akto will ignore urls in which response payload matches the above regex.
