Patterns that will be used to match against asset names to exclude them from the report. If pattern is a string it will be converted to RegExp via `new RegExp(str)`. If pattern is a function it should have the following signature `(assetName: string) => boolean` and should return `true` to _exclude_ matching asset. If multiple patterns are provided asset should match at least one of them to be excluded. |

+### Absolute output paths
+
+`reportFilename` and `statsFilename` can be absolute paths. Use absolute paths when you want the generated report or stats file to be written outside webpack's `output.path`. Relative paths are resolved against the bundle output directory.
+
+```js
+const path = require("node:path");
+const { BundleAnalyzerPlugin } = require("webpack-bundle-analyzer");
+
+module.exports = {
+  plugins: [
+    new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({
+      analyzerMode: "static",
+      reportFilename: path.resolve(__dirname, "reports/report.html"),
+      generateStatsFile: true,
+      statsFilename: path.resolve(__dirname, "reports/stats.json"),
+    }),
+  ],
+};
+```
+
 <h2 align="center">Usage (as a CLI utility)</h2>
 
 You can analyze an existing bundle if you have a webpack stats JSON file.
