Can I disable recording for a specific domain?

Yes! You can selectively manage and control which domains you allow to record to FullStory, preventing things like test or staging instances from generating sessions. No need to modify or bifurcate your code, simply click a switch to enable or disable a domain or subdomain.

Navigate to Settings > Recording to add excluded or included domains. We'll start with a high level screenshot and then dive into individual areas and examples.

Adding individual domains

Click the "Add domain" button to add a new domain to the list.

All other domains

The "All other domains" toggle does the following:

When ON, every individual domain where recording is OFF is effectively blacklisted.
When OFF, every individual domain where recording is ON is effectively whitelisted.

Wildcards (*)

You can specify wildcards (*) at any subdomain level which will match any text at that particular domain level.

Wildcards (*) and subdomains

Keep in mind that wildcards only match at the specific subdomain level, not all subdomain levels. Let's look at a few different examples.

In this example, immediate subdomains of example.com will be recorded, but the "naked" example.com will be blocked.

Domain	Is Recording?
example.com	No
app.example.com	Yes
account.app.example.com	No

In this example, both the top "naked" domain matches and all immediate subdomains match. Any further levels of subdomains will not match.

Domain	Is Recording?
example.com	Yes
app.example.com	Yes
account.app.example.com	No

In this example, the top level "naked" domain, all immediate subdomains, and all second level subdomains will match. Any further levels of subdomains will not match.

Domain	Is Recording?
example.com	Yes
app.example.com	Yes
account.app.example.com	Yes
