Bot Blocking (Early Access)
Freshpaint offers a heuristic tool for classifying and blocking bots from sending events to destinations.
Traffic Classifications
Our traffic classifier currently only recognizes three states (See table). It does not currently account for malicious actors or behavioral analysis. The $source_classification
value can be seen in the Event Verification tool and is automatically applied to all events.

Bot Detected
status to see skipped events.
$source_classification
in the event itself. This is present with and without bot blocking enabled.UNCLASSIFIED
Traffic that is left over after classification. This usually means that the traffic is normal.
KNOWN_BOT
Traffic that matches known user agents for different web crawlers like Google, Apple, Bing, etc.
AWS_BOT
Traffic that matches a common bot seen on AWS. The features monitored are browser information and source IP address.
