I have a development environment for a website. The environment is an exact clone of the production side, so it's going to have google analytics on it. What's a good way to exclude traffic?

I tried google analytics filters but I think i'm missing something.

Here's what I tried:

Filters > Predefined
- Exclude | traffic from the domains | that are equal to, that contain
- sub.mydomain.com

Filters > Custom
- Exclude | Hostname
- Filter Pattern: ^sub.mydomain.com

Anyone have any suggestions?

Assuming only a handful of people are going to see the development site you could exclude the IP addresses of those that will visit it. You may still have someone test something on an IP not included but that should get rid of most of the unwanted data, as well as help keep your data from being skewed by you on the live site.
