> As a consumer of Atlas, I want to be able to exclude certain operations, such as ping, from the audit log so that it does not get filled up with noise.
> This should be a general mechanism. It should be possible to configure the endpoints being excluded in the Atlas configuration file. The only requirement at this time is to be able to filter based on the high level operation being invoked (ie ping, version, etc). There is no need to be able to filter based on the arguments to the operation.
