I'm not sure I agree. The log tells you what Rails has been up to. One
of the things it has been up to is servicing the requests that come from
the monitoring service. Leaving those requests out of the log will
lessen the utility of the log.

Consider: if there were a bug or bottleneck in the monitoring request,
how would you know? If the monitoring service weren't requesting its
action, how would you know?

Picking and choosing in the log is a bad idea.

The analogy doesn't hold. The log is specifically a Rails log. Files
in /public aren't served by Rails; therefore, they don't appear in the
log. Your monitoring requests, however, are served by Rails and should
appear in the log.
