NimbostratusCustomized Bot Signature not working
Hi Experts,
I hope someone can help me 🙂
We have BigIP -LTM and and a new ASM module. We have created a Bot Signature to identify our own automatic requests adding a customized User-Agent header, but the Bot Defense do not asociate this signature with the requests, and it marks them as "Alarmed" where they should be marked as "Trusted Bot". However, it identifies the bot with the customized user-agent, but does not categorized it...
Any idea what should we do?
Thank you very much!
Have you followed the article below to also make a custom category and add the Bot signature to it? Better select Lowest posible risk score for the signature and ad it to "Benign Categories List,"

marta_slHi Nikoolayy1,
thank you very much for your response. I have just read the article you passed me and follow the steps. We are using 15.1 version, so there is no "Bening Categorie". However, I have created a new one for us under "Trusted Bots".
Do we have to mandatory add a Domain? We use Azure for our Apps, and the ip resolve for our domains is different of the IPs used for the request.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hello, You can just find the same article for writting custom bot signatures but for your version and follow the steps as it states:
"
- In the Domains field, type the name of one or more domains from which the bot can send its requests, and click Add.
This field is mandatory only for benign bots in the Search Engines category to validate their identity using reverse DNS lookup.
"
- In the Domains field, type the name of one or more domains from which the bot can send its requests, and click Add.

Hi,
thank you very much. I have change the category to " "Untrusted Bot", low risk " meanwhile we solve how to add the Domain, and at least now it identifies and categorize our bot.
Regards!
