Overview

This article provides the appropriate steps to exclude domains from GFI WebMonitor reports, based on the WebMonitor version you are running. 

Process
GFI WebMonitor 2013

1. Open the GFI WebMonitor console and go to the Reports tab.
2. Click on the report you wish to modify.
3. Select Websites and click the Exclude button.
4. Add the domain name to exclude, e.g., mydomain.com.
5. Click the Save button to save settings.

GFI WebMonitor 2015 and later

1. Open the GFI WebMonitor Management Console and go to the Reports tab.

4. Add the domain name to exclude, e.g., mydomain.com.

Important Notes

• Only exact top-level domain names should be added to the exclusion list. Sub-domains, e.g.,  example.mydomain.com or wildcards, are not supported.
• It is not possible to exclude a sub-domain only, but include the top-level domain. To exclude example.mydomain.com, it is required to exclude mydomain.com entirely.
• Even when full URL setting is enabled in the policies, it will not reflect in the reports. The reports can only show the domain, not the whole URL accessed.
