user_agent.synthetic.type
Developmentenumas of v1.44.0
Specifies the category of synthetic traffic, such as tests or bots.
This attribute MAY be derived from the contents of the user_agent.original attribute. Components that populate the attribute are responsible for determining what they consider to be synthetic bot or test traffic. This attribute can either be set for self-identification purposes, or on telemetry detected to be generated as a result of a synthetic request. This attribute is useful for distinguishing between genuine client traffic and synthetic traffic generated by bots or tests.
