filtering-bot-traffic
Identify, measure, and exclude bot / crawler / AI-agent traffic in PostHog web and product analytics using the traffic classification surface (the isLikelyBot / getTrafficType HogQL functions and the $virt_* virtual properties). Use when the user asks to "exclude bots", "filter out crawlers", "remove bot traffic from my numbers", "how much of my traffic is bots / AI crawlers", "is GPTBot / ChatGPT / Claude hitting my site", "break down traffic by human vs bot", or wants clean human-only counts in an insight or dashboard. For the real-time Live tab bot tiles, use exploring-live-traffic instead.
