Some of my clients are very noisy and robotic. I don't need to look into their logs and they are filling up the space. If there is a configuration where I can select the client IPs to exclude them from query logs, that would be very useful.

You can disable logging on the dashboard. Queries will still be stored in the long-term queries database where they can be viewed/requested with arbitrary filtering to remove the noise.
Hi, thank you for your response. My main concern is the footprint of the log db on the disk. I don't to have aggressive schedulers to delete every 6 hours or so. That's why I am trying to limit the number of queries that go into the log.
If the queries are coming from a PC or Mac or Lunux platform, you can block them locally at the PC with entry in the hosts file on that client.

Thank you. But these queries are coming from my IOT devices like weather bot, amazon echo, another amazon bot, by door cam etc.
How large is your database - ls -lh /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db , and how long did it take it to get to this size?
How many queries a day is your Pi-Hole processing?
