Which step is NOT part of excluding bots and spiders from monitoring?

Adding Google bots to the monitoring is not a part of the process for excluding bots and spiders from monitoring. Instead, the goal of excluding them is to ensure that automated traffic does not skew your web performance metrics or analytics. Monitoring tools like Dynatrace allow you to create specific rules to filter out this kind of traffic.

The process typically involves selecting the application you want to configure, navigating to the appropriate settings to edit them, and then specifying which user agents or patterns should be excluded. Thus, the steps leading up to and including the addition of exclusion rules are key to properly filtering out unwanted bot traffic, while including bots for monitoring would directly counteract that objective.
