HI there I need some help setting up some custom filters in google analytics
Here is background site info
We run a social network site with the domain name
http://colonies.com this represents our main community
we also have niche communities such as snowboard, skateboard, wakeboard etc
these sections have domain names with the following structure
http://snowboard.colonies.comhttp://skateboard.colonies.comhttp://wakeboard.colonies.comCurrently we have the google tracking code installed on all pages and we have one profile set up to monitor ALL traffic across the entire domain. This is required so we can track TOTAL traffic across all subdomains collectively.
We would now like to create additional profiles that track data only from each of the subdomains individually.
Googles instructions are to create a new profile for each subdomain and attach a unique tracking code to all the pages of that subdomain. This method works but then we don't have to ability to track TOTAL traffic across all domains.
What I would like to do is create a profile using the existing domain tracking code & data but create a custom filter that limits the reporting data only to a specific sub domain. Under the filter settings there is an option to limit the data to a subdirectory only but this is not what I am looking for. Obviously I will need to create a custom filter (that filters data by SUBDOMAIN) but have no clue on how to set this filter up properly. I have tired various setting but none seem to work.
Can somebody please assist me with this problem
Thanks in advance
