Is there a way to exclude IP ranges in the Adobe Experience Platform data collection?

I want to exclude a range of internal IP Addresses in the Adobe Experience Platform data collection.

Inside the Data streams, I was hoping to find an option that allows this and lets me enter an IP range to exclude. My hope was to block the events from reaching real-time CDP. Is this possible? Or do I need to add an attribute to the data layer to exclude these hits from being sent by the web SDK altogether?

The feature to exclude an event/abort is still not in place. There are couple of work arounds depending on where you want to use the event 

 

  1. data layer: like you suggested if there is a way to tag a user as internal this you could exclude this hit within adobe launch config 
  2. You could use regex in data prep to match the range and add a flag to field in schema 
  3. Use the flag added via data prep to ignore/filter events in analytics or event forwarding 

Hope that helps!
