Question by Scott A. · Feb 21, 2014 at 12:55 AM ·

Filtering Known Bad Traffic

We scan our site with several security tool such as Whitehat. Since these tool are sending bad request it causes our error rate to spike. I would like to either segment this traffic (based on IP address) or filter it out completely. What's the best approach to acomplish this segmentation/filtering?

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Scott

The best in your case is to define Business Transactions that use Filter Measures to filter out these "bad requests", e.g: by IP or User Agent String. If you have these BTs that then only show "Good Traffic" you get Error Rates that only reflect those errors from real users.

Good thing about having these Business Transactions is that you can also put them on the Application Overview - this means that you get automatic baselining for Response Time as well as for Failure Rate
