Description

What In the Matomo settings section we are able to configure IP addresses to be excluded in the tracking. It would be helpful if we could set up a description of a particular IP address to clarify which IP it is.

Why Because when you have a full list of IP addresses stated in this section after a period of time you do not remember every single one of them anymore. It helps to have a better overview of what data is excluded in the tracking.

Suggestion I.e. now it is: 123.456.789.12 123.456.123.18 123.456.444.13

And then, it would be: 123.456.789.12 //Innocraft Office 123.456.123.18 //Internal 123.456.444.13 //Web developer

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the IP exclusion settings in the Matomo codebase, likely in a plugin like 'CoreAdminHome' or 'PrivacyManager'. Add a description field to the IP exclusion model and update the UI to allow input and display of descriptions. Refer to existing similar features for patterns.
