Live Traffic filtering

Thanks for reaching out.

You can use the advanced filters to help (checkbox to the right of the filter traffic drop down menu). You can add multiple filters here like the image I have linked to below:

We currently do not offer a way to save the filter but I have reached out to the dev team to ask them to consider it. Hopefully they can get the feature added in an upcoming release. While I cannot promise that every suggestion we get makes it into a release, or when that might be I can tell you that every suggestion we get is evaluated carefully and considered seriously. We value the input we get from all our customers.

It does not work, I think that is why I did not try further.
If I have
– response not eq 403
and
– response not eq 503

Then I still see 503’s in the live traffic but it did help a little, meaning the googlebot (no) works and so does the referer. I just omitted the 403 check

Is it possible that using 2 of the same checks causes a problem?

Sorry I was to fast the referer not eq “search.msn.com” doesn’t work either.

It doesn’t look like you can skip the msnbot without knowing things like the userbot that is visiting. You could use User Agent does not equal msnbot (or whatever specific user agent the msnbot is using to visit your site). That’s probably going to be as close as you can get. I also confirmed the issue about not being able to search for 403s and 503s at the same time. I’ve mentioned this to the dev team and they’ll address it in an upcoming release. We’re currently in the middle of a site release so it would definitely be after that.

I did some testing with User Agent with *.search.msn.com
the only way I get something to work is the following
Here are the line I work with

IP: 157.55.39.140 Hostname: msnbot-157-55-39-140.search.msn.com
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +https://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)

With the following filter I can see only *.search.msn.com but I would like all others:
User Agent, match “%bingbot%”

PS: the eq, not eq I can not get to work on User Agent

As I mentioned, the dev team has been notified and I’m hoping they will be able to get some of these things implemented in a near future release. We do have a slight backlog right now due to a large project everyone is working on but we should be back on doing routine improvements in the plugin again soon.

Hello Tim, thanks for the feedback.
I also noticed that double entries do not work.

IP, not eq, 157.55.39.56 (just this line works) but if you add a 2nd it breaks
IP, not eq, 40.77.167.4

it is the same with the HTTP Response code like we had above.

Lets hope a fix is not that far out.

Hello Tim, any kind of an ETA on the fix?
Not be able to filter multiple IP’s or multiple http response codes (503 & 403) is a lot more work. I do work a lot with the logs to block hosting companies and IP ranges, because that is where the attacks a coming from. (These scripts from servers on the hosting companies do not need to “hack” our website)

Also saving your current filter selection would really help.

I use a lot
– Googlebot, no
– ip, not eq (my own server IP for cache proload)
– Http response code, not eq 503
would like to use:
– referer, does not contain search.msn.com
– …

thanks for getting the fix in fast. ??

Would be nice to get some feedback on this topic when the bug might be fixed in the Advanced Filters.

Yes, I also want to save the filter or bookmark this filter page. Because it will save lots of time.
