Enable Google Analytics Page Tracking in a Single-Name Intranet Site

Recently I’ve been asked how to get Google Analytics working in an intranet site with a single name in the URL, for example: http://intranet. The first time I added Google Analytics to a site it was a development site accessed by server-name:port-number. For days after correctly adding the tracking code there was still no data showing up in the Google Analytics dashboard reports.

Exclude traffic from directory – Analytics Integrations | Google Groups

I have two profiles on my site that I want to separately monitor in Google Analytics.

Profile A: The entire site: http://www.mysite.nl
Profile B: One certain directory on my site: http://www.mysite.nl/mydir/

Profile A should not include traffic from the subdirectory /mydir/ and
Profile B should not gather any information but in the directory mydir.

There are two solutions:

For Profile A:
create a ‘custom filter’:
‘exclude’
Filter Field: Request URI
Filter Pattern: ^/mydir/

For Profile B:
create a ‘custom filter’:
‘include’
Filter Field: Request URI
Filter Pattern: ^/mydir/

or

(For Profile B:)
create filter:  ‘include only traffic from a subdirectory’
Subdirectory: ^/mydir/
