Hallo,
vielleicht auch nochmal als Abschluss:
Ich hatte zu diesem Thema bevor ich hier im Forum gefragt habe, auch beim Matomo Support nachgefragt und jetzt die Antwort erhalten, die ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte:
When you use the PHP Tracking API, it is possible to enable an optional Tracking API parameter which will result in all bots being tracked in your instance.
You can do this by calling the following function in your code:$tracker->setCustomTrackingParameter('bots', 1);Please note that we currently do not set a flag for bots, therefore it will be hard to see which requests are from bots and which are from normal users. Bots will be mixed with non-bots.
If you are interested, it would be possible for you to actually detect whether user is a bot or not directly in your PHP script, by replicating the logic we do in Matomo.
This way youd be able to set a custom dimension to distinguish bots VS non-bots.
FYI the code we use in Matomo to detect a bot uses our Device detector library:
device-detector
And here is the code:$deviceDetector = DeviceDetectorFactory::getInstance($this->userAgent); return !$allowBots && ($deviceDetector->isBot() || $this->isIpInRange());
Das noch für Euch zur Info.
Vielleicht werde ich das mal machen, wenn mehr Zeit ist.
