Hi there,

how is the Bots&Spiders settings evaluated when excluding certain browsers from monitoring?

(App → Settings → Advanced setup)

 ![13240-botspsiders.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/e/f/ef90d53ae3d39463a94fd0de0f260173dd3693bf.png)

Are the values hard-coded or is there a way to configure the bots and spiders included?

Is there a list automatically updated?

Thanks in advance,

Raff

Hey Raff - if it’s anything like UEM in AppMon which is likely the case this is a hard-coded value. I’ve never seen any details but would be awesome to have.

The bots and spider list is based on the udger database: [Crawlers :: udger.com](https://udger.com/resources/ua-list/crawlers)  
It is updated at least once a month.
