Filtering

Control which traffic APXY captures using filter rules.

Web UI

Open Filters from the Modify group. The page provides:

  • Block rules form — add host patterns to exclude from capture
  • Allow rules form — add host patterns to capture exclusively
  • A list of active filter rules with delete buttons
  • Access to recording controls so you can pause or resume capture while tuning rules

The Traffic page also has a built-in filter panel with:

  • Protocol tabs (All/HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket/JSON)
  • Manual pinning of filters
  • Saved filter presets

CLI

Full syntax for filter rules, recording, and clearing captured traffic is documented in the CLI reference:

  • Filter — allow/block rules, list, remove, edit
  • Traffic — apxy recording …, apxy logs clear, and related commands

Quick example (block noisy hosts from capture):

apxy filter set --type block --target "analytics.google.com"

Blocked traffic is still forwarded to the server — it’s just not recorded by APXY.

For a broader overview of where filters live in the interface, see Web UI.
