When setting up a new website and even during daily work one really often would like seeing bots behaviour on the website.
Which one do come? How often do they come? Which sites do they visit? Which sites do they miss? (especially the last point is really important!!)

With standard Piwik config one do not see them.

There are at least two ways to make them visible

• you can set a parameter to the tracking api see Allow tracking request to record googlebot/bing bot requests #3139
• or you use bot tracker plugin see Plugin: BotTracker to track bot-actions #2391 and https://github.com/Thomas--F/BotTracker

both ways may work, but they are not very comfortable & not flexible in daily usage

A great solution would be a simple "switch":
show or hide bots within everything.

Of course a switch make lots of work to integrate.

=> But what about doing this with a simple new "positive working" segment "include bots"?

So one always track them, but hide them until with segment editor "include bots" is chosen.
