# Bot Blocking (Early Access)

### 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](/admin-panel/investigate-testing-and-debugging/traces.md) tool and is automatically applied to all events.

| Classification | Description                                                                                                           |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `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. |
