Release notes
BotShield helps Drupal sites detect bot traffic, apply per-bot/IP limits or blocks, enrich events with geo data, and use reports to safely tune crawler access.
BotShield is a Drupal module that gives administrators visibility and control over automated traffic. It classifies bots, enforces configurable policies, and provides reports for safe tuning.
Features
- Classifies known and custom bots using User-Agent rules.
- Supports per-bot actions:
allow,rate_limit, andblock. - Supports IP/CIDR rules plus override-file support for always-allow IPs.
- Adds path-group rules and per-group thresholds.
- Includes flood safety-net controls, including stricter unknown-bot handling.
- Enriches events with geo data from headers, GeoLite2 MMDB, and optional free API fallback.
- Provides report pages: dashboard, status, log, map, and alerts.
- Supports customizable 429 response messaging.
- Includes retention cleanup via cron.
Use Cases
- High-traffic sites needing crawler control without blocking all bots.
- Editorial/operations teams needing visibility into bot behavior and origin.
- Sites that want Drupal-native bot controls and reporting.
