I noticed that my site (not a very busy one) is getting high in usersession. This is mostly caused by bot sessions. These are not reused, so they stack up.

Might it be an idea to limit the number of these sessions, since they clog the userSession table.

There might be two solutions: to reuse the session if the request is recognised as being from a particular bot (if that is possible and doesn't cause any security leaks) or to cleanup the session after use.

Setting the session timeout to a low value helps, but is in my opinion not a real solution.

greetings Bart

In both WebGUI 7.7 and 7.8, in Session->Env there is a bot detector
method.  That could be used to do what you're talking about.
