Hi all!
When we look at our crawler page view count, there seems to be an unidentified entry that is racking up over 500k page views in a month:
Is there any easy way to find out what this could be? It seems to average some 10,000-15,000+ hits a day.

We’re a self hosted FLOSS project, so I suppose that’s out of the question
I know I could put some more filtering on there and get our infra guy to look at more logs - I guess I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this before.

Check the nginx logs (access.log
) for requests coming with that user agent and the respective IP.

I just met with our lead SysAdmin in person and figured it out. It’s HAProxy doing a health check every 5 seconds

Health checks should set a proper User Agent, so this doesn’t happen again. Also, you can use the /srv/status
route for health checking.
