Everybody does it, you run into a blocked web site, search for the domain that causes the problem and whitelist it (hopefully with a comment for future reference). Once whitelisted, you never look back. I was recently made aware of some domains that no longer need whitelisting. but found it to be hard to determine which whitelist entries are actually effective, mainly due to the fact there are no dedicated status entries, indicating a query was forwarded (whitelist always wins) due to a whitelist entry. There are currently 17 status IDs (0-16), the missing entries in the documentation are already addressed by this PR.
Request:
add status types:
- ID 17: forwarded, exact whitelist entry
- ID 18: forwarde, regex whitelist.
If at all possible, the additional info field should contain the ID of the entry.
This would allow a user to identify the whitelist entries, used (thus usefull), but also the entries that are never used (will require some sqlite3 queries to identify, but certainly not impossible).
Currently, I'm using a grafana dashboard to identify specific queries.
The possibility to identify whitelist entries would allow me to identify obsolete entries (disable for a period of time, remove later).
