Confluence Analytics exclude IP range

Question

Hi Community,

we are using an internal search engine, indexing via REST and crawling confluence pages for thumbnail generation.

Is there a way to exclude those crawls from a single ip or range from contributing to the view count in confluence analytics? (It is distorting the message)

Thanks and regards

Hi @Pramodh M

I do not want to create a separate analytics solution. Simply want to filter out requests from a specific IP address from counting towards the analytics.

So whenever this IP address crawls pages from Confluence, this page view will not be counted when checking the analytics tab in Confluence.

Hope I could explain a bit better now.

Are there plans or could you take it up for development?

Thanks and BR Robert

Hi @Robert Hellmann

Have you tried tools such as logstash, splunk, or datadog.

May be you will be able to parse the logs and get the necessary information required

Thanks,

Hi @Pramodh M ,

do you have a hint whether this could be solved for DC?

Thanks and regards,
