Domain exclusion feature allows us to exclude specific domains or subdomains from being recorded. We can use patterns with wildcards (*) to do this. Let's look at some examples to see how it works.
Example 1
Pattern: example.com
Description: This pattern excludes only the exact domain specified. Any subdomains or variations of the domain will not be excluded. For example, it will match example.com but will not match app.com, app.example.com, or account.app.example.com.
Example 2
Pattern: *.example.com
Description: This pattern excludes immediate subdomains of the specified domain but does not exclude the naked domain or any further levels of subdomains. For example, it will match app.example.com and spinkart.example.com, but will not match example.com or account.app.example.com.
Example 3
Pattern: *.*.example.com
Description: This pattern excludes second-level subdomains of the specified domain. It does not exclude the naked domain, immediate subdomains, or subdomains beyond the second level. For example, it will match account.app.example.com and account.spinkart.example.com, but will not match example.com or app.example.com.
Example 4
Pattern: *.net
Description: This pattern excludes any domain within the specified top-level domain. For example, it will match spinkart.net and example.net, but will not match example.com or app.example.net.
Example 5
Pattern: example.*
Description: This pattern excludes the specified domain across any top-level domain. For example, it will match example.com and example.net, but will not match app.example.com or app.example.net.
