Stop URL Monitor from creating redirections for deleted attachments

[galbaras]

Redirection seems to be monitoring every post type, so it creates deletion redirects for customizer sets, attachments and other things that just overload the redirection tables.

Possible solution 1: exclude these specific post types from being monitored.

Possible solution 2: provide a plugin setting to determine which post types to monitor (this one should detect all the types first)

It should only monitor the post types you configure in the options. I've been unable to trigger anything for attachments or other things. Could you show me what monitor settings you have, and list the steps to cause something to be created?

On one site, I have Monitor changes to posts, pages, products, testimonials & trash turned on, and I see these redirections:

If anything, both of these might be attachments, which shouldn't be monitored.

On another site I have posts, pages, products an trash enabled, and the following redirections:

On a third site, the plugin moniors, posts, pages, products, portfolio items and trash, and besides deleted post types, I also see this, which I think might be drafts:

2 more examples from other sites, both looking like post drafts:

I've had quite a number of redirections similar to these, but I've removed them, so don't have them anymore (sorry).

Thanks. I think this may be something with a particular setting, or maybe even a plugin. I've tried everything but just can't trigger anything to be created.

Given the generated redirections all go to / and are disabled, I'd say the setting involved is trash monitoring. What's the trigger for that action?
