Help with GA Filters - IP Addresses
-
I'm having a hard time filtering out both of the IP addresses at our office. One is easy with regular expressions, but the other one does not seem to be working.
Here are the two IP addresses:
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86
174.99.90.148I set up these two custom filters and neither worked for the longer IP address.
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148Would you please help steer me in the right direction? Thanks as always MOZ friends!

Figured it out fully! This is how I needed to write the filter to have both in a regular expression:
174.99.90.148|^2606:a000:4e2b:d500
Thanks again everyone for steering me in the right direction!
-
Not sure why, but it looks like we just have to have separate filters for ipv6 versus ipv4s... works that way, but not combined for whatever reason.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I would agree with Dmitrii again on this one. For ipv6 there shouldn't be a need for regex as there are no '.' characters and ':' does not cause a regex function. You might want to consider simply segmenting the ipv4 and ipv6 as two different filters? I know this defeats your purpose of using one filter to catch them all but the problem you are facing may be caused by trying to group ipv6 and ipv4 in the same filter.
Try doing them separately and let us know if that solves the issue of correctly filtering the ipv6 traffic while using the pipes to join multiple ipv6 in one filter.
-
If you are creating filter just for one IPv6, why to you use regular expression at all? Just input it as it is.
-
I'm no longer getting the error, but for whatever reason putting them together is not filtering them out. What it looks like I need to do is create a custom filter and determine how to put the ipv6 in as a regular expression, which I do not understand how to do. Do you know?
-
The solution Dmitrii proposed has also worked for me with no invalid IP address error.
Can you confirm that this is still not working for you and provide a screenshot if possible?
-
It worked for me. I just checked. Are you doing it in custom, rather than predefined?
-
When I put that in it tells me that it's an invalid IP address...
-
It should be
2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86|174.99.90.148 -
It does work when I set up a predefined filter blocking IP, but only for that one ipv6 - when trying to add both it isn't working and I'm hoping to only have one filter that blocks multiple IPs... thoughts?
-
Again, is it working if you create a filter just for ipv6?
-
Basically, what I'm trying to do is build the functionality to have all of my IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 in one GA filter. I selected a custom filter to exclude IP addresses that are equal to the below expression, but it's not working for the IPv6. Can someone tell me what's wrong with this setup?
174.99.90.148|2606:a000:4e2b:d500:8519:4fcb:8bf0:78d7
I'm pretty sure the regular expression is incorrect for the IPv6, but I don't know how to do it and cannot figure it out through research.
Thanks as always MOZ friends!
-
Well, try ipv6 by itself first. Make sure it's working, eliminate the variables, you know. If it works by itself, then you can start digging into regular expressions (even though it should be simple ipv6|ipv4 without escapes). Who knows - maybe fault is not in regular expressions, but address is wrong or something.
-
I'd like to put all of these IP addresses in one filter instead of several, which requires a regular expression. These IPs are ours, but I also want to add different partners' IP addresses on their sites. We work with about 50 different websites and I'm hoping to have this as just one of the filters. The regular expression works for the non-IPv6 (thanks!) IP, but the IPv6 one is not filtering.
Make sense? Thanks again for the help!
-
IPv6 is that long IP address.
Simply go to filters in GA, find predefined filter, choose exclude, choose "traffic from IP addresses" and paste your IP, which is 2606:a000:4e2b:d500:61d9:9d4e:c539:ea86.
-
Pardon the lack of knowing, but what is ipv6? How does that filter look in the GA filter? Thanks!
-
Hi there.
You should be able to exclude both IPs without any escaping. What I'd recommend is to create a filter just for ipv6 and see if exclusion works. Let me know if that works.

GWT Change of Address not working
I work at a .jsp site where we have vanity urls that 301 to the www,domainname.com/index.jsp?c_id. Now when I do a change of address in GWT it tells me that it can't fulfill the change of address cause the redirect goes to www.domainname.com/index.jsp instead of www.domainname.com. I could create a GWT account for www.domainname.com/index.jsp/ but that is a 404 (it needs the c_id). How would I do my change of address?

Weird Math in GA Ecommerce Tracking
Hi everybody. I've recently discovered that I have a problem with the ecommerce tracking on a client's website. The client sells concert tickets at an average price of $10 per ticket. The custom ecommerce platform they use is kind of unusual; the same product often has different SKUs, but not always. This isn't associated with different seats, etc. In fact, I don't yet know why they've set it up that way. The problem that I'm facing is this: the data in Analytics is calculating the "average price" of a SKU item as the total price. If, for example, the actual average price for a SKU item is $10 and four of those SKU items were sold, Analytics will tell me the average price is $40. This means that the total revenue for that SKU shows up as $40 x 4 = $160. Needless to say, this is enormously skewing the data. Here's a screenshot. Note, it's the same product: http://screencast.com/t/JyLQkb3jzz6s The total revenue for ticket sales is way off because of this, and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ecommerce tracking code in Analytics, or something that the ecomm platform is doing. Have any of you experienced anything like this, and if so is it a fix in Analytics? Thank you!

Comparing user behaviour in GA
Hi Does anyone know, can advise a process, for how to compare user behaviour (time on page, bounce rate etc) for a major site section/category page that's changed its url since a new site upgrade (so effectively 2 different pages i presume) with the old page version (say comparing U.B between the two pages and between June this year vrs June last year) in Analytics / Cheers Dan

Not Provided Filter is not tracking goals
I have setup ‘Not Provided’ filter, but it is not tracking conversions accurately. Basically the filter displays goals url’s as conversion urls & not the landing url’s. For example – I would expect home page to have maximum conversions, but its shows higher visits & no conversions. Has anyone experienced this? I have attached screenshot of the ‘Not provided’ Filter. 0L0fS3h SxzRP7w

Multiple-Domain tracking for sister sites- NO retail checkout- Please help
Hello, I have about 5 sites I want to set up multiple-domain tracking in google analytics. All posts I read seem to be focused on cross-domain tracking for the purpose of tracking a visitor from one domain across another domain for shopping cart check outs. I don't need that. I have about 3 sister sites (mastersite.com, sistersite1.com, sistersite2.com, sistersite3.com) related to my primary site. I want 1 Master Analytics Profile to track traffic for all of these sites combined. My visitors will not jump from mastersite.com over to sistersite1.com. There will be no cross-domain visits. How can I set up 1 master google analytics profile that will aggregate traffic data from all sites and present the data to me in one analytics profile. Please help

GA: How can non related kws show up in the organic report?
Hi mozzers, I have a site A: www.example.com (with its own branded kws) SiteB: subdomain.example.com Site A and B are related and belong to the same company. Site B was released a couple months ago. ISSUE: I have noticed branded kws from Site A showing up on Site B's GA which doesn't make any sense. I try to make searches in the SE with those kws and not a single search showed the Site B(subdomain). What is weird is that 2 months ago had a an issue with bounce rate on site B showing a 0% bounce rate, then I discovered that we had 2 GATC on site, removed the extra code and bounce was back to normal. Since then I have seen a rise of branded kws from Site A to Site B. Can someone help me here figuring out what is wrong? Thanks

Switching from synchronous to asynchronous code in GA
Morning all, I'm looking to integrate GA with Webmasters tools but to do so I need to have the new asynchronous GA code implemented into my website. Now, I'm happy to just copy and paste the new code into my site footer, but will that any effect on the data that I've already tracked? Is there any reason why this is really not a good idea? Thanks for your help,
