F5 BIG-IP Bot Defense - Previous Request and Follow Up Request

Question

Can anyone point to some documentation, or explain what is happening when "Previous Request", "Follow Up Request" and "Related Requests not Available" appears in the Bot Requests log? It seems to be related to "Challenged Request" as denoted by the yellow bullseye, but I haven't found any documentation that really explains this.

thanks!

If your bot profile is with Browser setting "Verify before access" this can explain why there are two request as F5 will reply to first client request as to insert the javascript check before access.
