Ability to exclude specific IP addresses
For web sites where internal traffic makes up a significant portion of the usage, have the ability to exclude specific IP addresses or networks.

We do actually watch uservoice :) Granted we should have commented on this issue. Sorry about that.
It's definitely not something we've forgotten (it's mentioned in our FAQ too, http://chartbeat.com/faq/). We just have not gotten to it yet
briankb
this was suggested a year ago and it's still not implemented? why are you using uservoice if you are not going to follow up via comments or more important updates to site features?

This should be either a * or a list of subdomains or a list of IPs.
My site has several sub domains and several different IPs .

This is really important to us as well. Can we get feedback on whether this is coming soon or not?
sambeckett
We really need to hide referrals from our sub domains. They are not referrals. It is normal site usage and hides the real referral data.
thanks

The problem with this is that your server needs to be the one to grab the clients IP. It's very simple to conditionally output the Chartbeat code in your HTML head/body.

Agreed!
Barry Goldberg
I agree.

If you want this desperately you could always conditionally include the javascript on your site template.

Any chance this is coming soon? We'd like to be able to exclude our internal activity from Chartbeat -- that way, as we monitor usage (and clean up pages that are being accessed heavily), we don't distort the results -- we love Chartbeat!

Related: I'd like a toggle that would allow me to have ChartBeat ignore hits from `localhost`.

Alternately, a way to filter users from a specific network: aggregate data, internal users, and external users are all valuable.

I too would like to see this option. I have a company of roughly 45 users, and we all connect regularly to the website - i would like to ignore my office's IP like on all other major stat platforms
