title: Spring Sleuth ignore "get /**" either by pattern or "mvc.controller.class"
body: <p>TLDR : How can we ignore sending traces to jaeger (or zipkin) where the header is "get /**", and if that is not possible ignore sending traces where  "mvc.controller.class" is "RequestHttpRequestHandler"</p>
  
  <p>We have a app which uses spring sleuth, in this app we have some requests sent to jaeger which result in get the header as "get /**" and the controller for these cases are "RequestHttpRequestHandler"</p>

  <p>However it seems that we cant use a simply "**" path filter and after debugging the spring code a bit each specific pattern comes up in the skip section as follows</p>
