[Excon](https://github.com/excon/excon) is an HTTP client library for Ruby. AppSignal instruments Excon requests automatically when the Excon gem is detected on start. No manual setup is required.

## Performance monitoring

Requests made with Excon appear in the event timeline of your application's performance actions as `request.excon` events, showing the request method and host. They also appear in the "Slow API requests" performance panel, where you can review the requests your application makes to other services and the impact they have on its performance.

## Disabling the integration

To disable the Excon integration, set the [`instrument_excon` config option](/ruby/configuration/options#option-instrument_excon) to `false`.
