Admin: Global list of Excluded Host names #3589

Open anonymous-matomo-user opened 11 years ago

anonymous-matomo-user commented 11 years ago

The Global websites settings section includes a feature to enter a Global list of Excluded IPs. This is useful if the IPs are previously known, but it is problematic in situations where one wants to ignore tracking themselves and they know their own hostname as an alias for a dynamic IP address. A solution to consider would be adding a Global list of Excluded Hosts.

I am interested in that same idea, and i try to get a plugin for that. I pulled together all what was written about the topic so far [http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?3,84238]. among it, an existing (dirty) solution, but this needs a shell-script. So it would be great if you come back to this thread, and tell us, if you are still interested in it, and what exactly your needs are.

Regards, Thomas

Hey Thomas. I don't really know much about the script, but all I am looking for is an expansion of the current Global Exclude feature so that you can use not just IP addresses and ranges, but hostnames as well.

sirtet commented 11 years ago

same for me! but instead of answering here, can you please read the summary and add your exact needs (as explained there) to the forum thread: http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?3,84238 eg. tell if global is enough, if you really need multiple domainnames, if you have any ideas about implementation, if you can and want to help pay for it etc.

Do you need to exclude more than one domain/dynamic IP?

Possibly. I don't personally right now, but others may need this.

Do you need to do that only globally, or per defined website?

Right now just globally, but others may need the latter as well.

Do you need to exclude static IP's at the same time, or could the plugin just replace the list of static IP's with dynamic ones?

I'd need both static IPs (as it is right now) as well as hostnames.

Thank You. Please do not answer here! Answer only in the forum, because all the info is collected there. There are some more questions in the forum. It is at http://forum.piwik.org/read.php?3,84238 or, is it that you can not or do not want to use the forum? there is a user with the name kip, so i thought that is you...
