Tracking same domains but different environments in Google Analytics

Question

So, say I want to track traffic to different environments, but in the same domain

https://portal.mywebsite.net/

and separately track traffic to

https://production.mywebsite.net/

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you do this through filters, or do you have to setup new properties per environment? thanks in advance, I'm a noob to GA.

Answer 1

Create two new views one for portal and one for production:

1. Start with applying a filter to your portal view. Go to View > Filters > Create New Filter
2. Select Include only & traffic to the hostname, and drop in portal.mywebsite.net.

Rinse and repeat for production.
