Add detection for category (browser, bot, scripted, search engine, health monitor)?

Hi all, currently, we only get (browser, OS, device), we also classify some traffic as spider. But this spider" is very weird to appear in the device`` field. I think we should add a new 4th string field called category, its value can be:

  1. Browser: normal browsers
  2. Bot: like lyticsBot
  3. Scripted: like Apache-HttpClient, Python Requests, Wget, Curl, Java, Apache, HeadlessChrome
  4. Search engine: like Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.
  5. Health monitor: like Rackspace Monitoring, etc.

Does it sound reasonable?

I would love to have this feature.

How do you currently distinguish between a "real" user request via a browser and a spider/bot/etc. @hsluoyz
