Filter Wizard - IP Address
The IP address filter can be used to
include or exclude data based on the visitor's IP Address. Since you may want
to filter by the visitor's domain name specifically,
Analyzer provides a convenient tool for helping you look up the IP address of
a specific domain name. If you do not know the IP address of the domain name you
wish to filter, enter the domain name in the "Reverse DNS Lookup" field
and click Search. Analyzer will automatically put the IP address for the
domain name into the IP address field.
You can use wildcards
in the IP Address.
Here are some example uses of the
IP Address filter:
Exclude ‘local’ hits
Use wildcards to specify all IP addresses
that may have been used by internal users in testing the web site. This allows
you to measure only the visitors to a web site, not internal web site users. For
example, to exclude every user from MIT, specify the following wild card: ’18.*’.
If you do not know your local IP addresses, ask your system administrator or ISP.
Measure Intranet usage
This essentially the opposite of the
‘Exclude local hits’ filter. This time, you only want to include local
hits. This lets you measure the usage patterns of internal users.
Track the users from a specific
domain
Find out if your competitors are accessing
your web site! Just set FastStats Analyzer to only include requests from your
competitor’s IP addresses.
