I’m attempting to block certain IPs however using the drop filter doesn’t seem to work as the numbers stay the same even with the filter applied.

Hi @Cortney Ketchum - hope to help you with this! If I’m understanding correctly, you’ve applied a block filter but are not seeing the changes reflected in the chart - is that right? A block filter blocks specified data from being ingested whereas a drop filter removed specified data from a chart at query time. It sounds like you are trying to remove data at query time? If so, I’d recommend creating a drop filter. Curious to hear your thoughts!
