User agent
Requests from ThousandEyes carry a user agent like this:
ThousandEyes-Dragonfly-x1Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):
ThousandEyesAnyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.
How Vireo counts ThousandEyes
Vireo keeps requests from ThousandEyes out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Uptime monitors, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.
Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over ThousandEyes's user agents.
