Optionally, you can configure extended user agent parsing to treat specified URLs that are triggered by specific user agents to be marked as a different traffic type. Complete this task to specify the paths to skip.
For example, suppose that for the user agent Jakarta
, a visit to any page other
than /MyXMLService.aspx
indicates that the user agent is a search engine while
visits to /MyXMLService.aspx
indicate that the user agent is not a robot. By
defining this path to be skipped during normal user agent parsing, you can specify the appropriate
traffic type value for the non-robot exception
(TrafficType=XMLServiceConsumer
).
