Robot exclusion list

    As far as I am aware the robot exclusion list is populated on installation and won’t get updated because you can also manually edit it. Is that initial list sourced from somewhere public and if so can you point there? I fear the list filters fewer and fewer bots as time goes on and would like to update it manually at a low frequency.

    Hi,

    I hope you’re doing well.

    You can update the excluded robots list through GitHub by enabling the following option:
    Dashboard > Statistics > Settings > Externals > Matomo Referrer Spam Blacklist Settings

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi.
    Thanks for the quick reply. You got me confused. I was talking about bots like GoogleBot, the referrers are something different. But I’m a huge idiot as I just noticed (after all that time) that there is an option that automatically updates the bot list on plugin update m( Well, at least now I’ve found that.

    Have a beautiful day and again, thanks for the quick reply.
