What is 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.

Filtering and measuring bot traffic

PostHog classifies every request by user agent so you can tell humans apart from bots, crawlers, and AI agents anywhere HogQL runs — the SQL editor, insights, trends, and Web analytics breakdowns. This skill teaches you (the agent) how to use that classification to:

  • exclude bots so analytics reflect human traffic only
  • measure how much traffic is automated, and which bots / operators are responsible
  • separate AI-agent traffic (worth measuring) from noise (worth dropping)
  • pick the right surface — virtual properties for the insight builder, functions for raw SQL

For real-time ("right now", last 30 min) bot questions and the Live tab tiles, use the exploring-live-traffic skill instead. This skill is for historical windows, saved
