Hostname data filter

'New data filter type allows excluding events based on hostname.'

What it breaks

Nothing breaks; a filter applied in testing mode does nothing until activated, and an active filter is not retroactive.

Who it hits: Properties collecting from staging or partner hostnames.

The fix

Use it to drop staging hosts; remember filters are forward-only.
