How to prevent the profiling from certain IPs?

How can I prevent the profiling of PHP codes from certain IP?
I don't want to store the data at all instead of just not showing the footer. Is it possible?

I guess you should specify IP's that allowed to profile instead of excluding not allowed ones. This can be done via $controlIPs setting in your config.php: https://github.com/preinheimer/xhprof/blob/master/xhprof_lib/config.sample.php#L52-L54

I tried to do so. Like I wanted to profile only from two URLs. Say, for example, from x.x.x.x:8000 and x.x.x.x:9000, and not any other ports. I tried specifying the same in the config.php as

$controlIPs = array('http://x.x.x.x:9000','http://x.x.x.x:8000');

But when I tried to open the profiling page, the result was "You do not have permission to view this page."
Doesn't that controlIPs allow to view and not profile-related?

Name of the setting suggests that can only have IP in there in general. No ports.

How come, that your website is served from variety of ports?

The thing is to profile data from two PHP applications

I see. Instead of application being located in the sub-folder you have 2 virtual hosts at different ports instead. Since IP address is the same the _profile cookie ends up on both of them.

I think ports are not supported yet. But you're free to change https://github.com/preinheimer/xhprof/blob/master/external/header.php#L35 and if it goes well for you maybe can also arrange a PR.

So $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will only ever have the IP, not the IP:PORT combo.

I think there's some confusion over the control IPs: http://x.x.x.x:9000 sounds like where you're accessing the site, rather than the IP:PORT of your own machine. Control IP is designed to allow you to specify the IPs of users able to control the system.

I think to get what you're looking for, I might change how you're including the header.php file. You can put the prepend directive inside the virtual host only for hosts you want profiled.

@Vidzz , feel free to close the issue if it was resolved.
