Continued from Google Analytics filter out its own IP (Part 1)
Setting up filters
For those where the variant is to remain imprecise segmentation via the filter. Filters enable the exact IP address or a Range via Regular Expressions to specify.
Google Analytics filters to the summary page (where the various accounts are listed) will be established and administered. For this one clicks on the "Filter Manager" right below. The manager can then filter in the gray bar directly, a new filter can be created. In my case, I would now again awarded the title "Without Me". Select "Exclude all traffic from an IP address" and enter in the box underneath my Ip address: then in the Filter Type. This is important, that is set before each item by a backslash. , Like that 193 \ .0 \ .0 \ .0.
The points must be "validated" by the backslash as the punk would otherwise be interpreted as a regular expression. In this case, the dot stands for a wildcard matching any character can be replaced by any. But if one has a static IP address you have to make it no further thought. For users who want to filter out an IP range but this is interesting. Thus, the following statement on all IPs from 193.0.0.1 - 193.0.0.50 be excluded: ^ 193 \ .0 \ .0 \ ([1-9] | [1-4] [0-9] | 50) $.
When regular expressions are not entirely trivial, but - frankly, I also do not like t so special - Google provides a practical tool for exactly this purpose of applying available. Here you can generate regular lockout for an IP Range: IP Range tool from Google .
Filter set
After all this done so far has yet to the desired profile for the filter is effective should be selected. Then save the whole thing and still be managed.
Finally, it is true to say is that the filter should be well tested, since one can easily destroyed with false information, its data. Therefore, it is best to create something first time in a test account.
