Use case: Skip internal requests before they are passed to any of the collectors.

Can you explain this use case more? Why wouldn't the service sending the logs know not to report if it's in a local environment?

Hi, yes of course. Maybe i'm missing something here :)

My current setup is like follows: bucky-client -> gathers metrics -> posts to bucky-server -> posts to InfluxDB -> Grafana etc.

I'd like to detect internal traffic to the productive site much earlier. I just can't see a possibility to determine this in the browser (bucky-client or JS in general). The only clean way i can think of to know if it's an external or internal request is to check for the IP - which JS can't access without hacks.
