Web Scraping Feature

I am wondering if "Web Scraping" Feature still available to configure or not. 
- I know it was available under ( Security >>> Application security >>> Anomaly Detection >>> web scraping). 
I am taking about Releases versions V14 and V15 as well. 

Thanks

    True, the available configuration options have changed. And what was Web Scraping till 14.0 is now Bot Defense, where Web Scraping exists as a sub-feature called Web Scraping to prevent any attempts to collect application content.

    It is also stated in K42323285: "The Bot Defense profile replaces and includes  the original functionality of the DoS profile bot signatures and proactive bot defense, as well as Web Scraping."

      Hi Daniel_Wolf , 

      Thanks for your fast response , but I think it is not configured such as old version any more , I mean that all of below intevals do not exist in V14.1 : 
      and it has been reduced in V14.1 with Bot Defense with simple configuration through " Microservice " Feature when creating a Bot Profile.
