    Hi,

    I’ve enabled 404 detection at my website. However, I’ve been seeing IPs from Google that are captured getting 404s. My question is that if there’s a way to whitelist Google’s IP to avoid cluttering up false-positive 404s at my log?

    Thank you!

    Hi, can you provide a Google IP address that is getting a 404 error message.

    Thank you

    Examples from my own logs (from the link i posted that shows Google’s subnet):
    66.102.9.25
    66.249.93.13
    66.249.93.43
    66.249.80.11

    Hi Ed
    There is currently no way to suppress certain IP addresses from showing up as 404 events.
    Having said that I think you can take advantage of that information to determine why there might be a lot of 404s coming from google bots and try and fix any broken links and deleted/moved pages on your site.
