[Feature Request] Ignore visits based on hostname

[patrickhilker]

I use a DynDNS pointing to my IP at home. By resolving this hostname Umami could get my IP and ignore my visits.

Would such a feature be appreciated? I would be able to contribute the code.

You just need to add umami.disabled = true to local storage and your visits will be ignored.

As far as I know this has to be done for every website, on every client, hasn't it? For everyone tracking a few websites this becomes pretty quick a huge task. On mobile devices this is not even possible (at least in Chrome on Android).

Tracking 30 websites and working from 3 clients I personally have to edit my local storage 90 times. If one is an agency with employees this becomes absolutely unmaintainable.

You can use the IGNORE_IP environment variable then. See https://umami.is/docs/environment-variables

As I get a new IP every day this is not really an alternative

[mikecao]

Ok, we can prob add a new environment variable then.

This will be helpful.

Just keep in mind that this could potentially be very slow. You are effectively running a DNS lookup for every pageview.

Sorry, probably I understood the issue wrong.

I meant to ignore visits based on hostnames, like while testing my website locally, if the visits are coming from localhost or 127.0.0.1.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Shall I open a different issue for that?

@rohandebsarkar You can use the existing variables to do that, https://umami.is/docs/environment-variables

[rohandebsarkar]

Thank you for replying. Are you talking about the hostname variable? There is no documentation below it.

No just the IGNORE_IP, just enter your localhost IP

No just the IGNORE_IP, just enter your localhost IP

I tried IGNORE_IP. But it didn't work.
But I was able to get it to work with data-domains attribute.
