+## Meta Request Configuration
+
+If the ActiveRecord caller locations are including files you don't want, you can exclude those files by adding them to the configuration in config/meta_request.yml. Files in the backtrace that match a regex in the ingore paths list will be skipped.
+
+```yaml
+:ignore_paths:
+- .*/directory/exclude_this_file
+```
