    Traffic logging mode: All traffic.?This option register ALL traffic including google bot.

    I would like to know if there is an easy way to remove this kind of bot from traffic logging.

    I only see an way that includes the IP address, the problem is that they have a lot of ip address. OR Browser user-agent, and the problem is that they include the IP Address into the user-agent

    Hi @ernanimarques, thanks for your question.

    The plugin does now recommend using the “Security Only” option, which would exclude most benign requests to your site.

    The “Browser user-agent to ignore” field cannot be comma-separated at the moment so the wide range of User-Agents used by Google may still come through if you are able to exclude one. The one drawback we’ve explored is that with common User-Agents, bots or attackers sending a fake User-Agent might also be excluded from Live Traffic. Nevertheless, I will log your request for review by the development team but I’m unable to provide further progress reports here on the forums.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
