CONTENTBOX-542 Add bot protection for hits + session management

Hello,

how to implement this, just a few suggestions?

  1. Move hits to new table content_hits (keeping it in the same table can lead to locks under high load)
  2. Make a new section in Settings, call it Logging Options?
  3. Text field for regex bot agent string (exclude user agents from logging)
  4. enable/disable hit count
  5. If hit count is disabled, do not show pie chart1. exclude ip address ranges1. wrap updateHits in a try/catch
  6. We had some entries where the logging failed, don’t know why this happend?
  7. Where to log errors then?1. We should have a setting which lowers the session time out for bots, should this be done pragmatically only? Or where should we put this setting?

What do you think?

Best regards,

Gunnar
