How do I tell Akita to ignore certain endpoints when watching traffic?
Help! The Akita Client captures extra traffic (from images, font families, and more) on my network and it shows up in my spec. How do I tell Akita I don't care about these endpoints?

How do I find the Docker container where my service is running?
I know I'm running the service I want to model in a Docker container, but I don't know its name. How do I go about finding out the name?

Why is Akita not extracting path variables?
When viewing your spec, you might notice endpoints like `GET /users/foo`, where you know that `foo` is really a path variable.
Akita can generally infer path variables if given enough examples of the API calls. If an API endpoint is missing path variables, make sure Akita is able to observe at least 2 successful calls to the endpoint using different values for the variable.
For example, if Akita observes:
```
GET /users/foo
GET /users/bar
```
then Akita can correctly infer the path variable and generalize the path as `GET /users/<arg2>`.
