Option to ignore domains from appearing in the Query Log

DL6ER · August 1, 2023, 2:34pm

I implemented a very first draft where the effect is indeed limited to the Query Log only. This is what is left when adding the regex exclusion rule [a-z]:

If you pay close attention to the text below the Query Log, you'll see that this filtering is indirectly obvious from the UI.

Any number of regular expressions is supported. Note that above mentioned performance-warning stays: Every domain to be displayed has to be matched against every of you configured regular expressions. That being said, there will be no performance hit if the array of regular expressions is empty.

This is implemented in the realm of the ongoing Pi-hole v6.0 development on branch new/queryLogRegex:
