Traffic Management: Filter unwanted bot traffic #1091

Description

@Ayush8923

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, bot or unwanted traffic hitting the application can trigger false-positive downtime alerts, even when the application is healthy. This leads to unnecessary alerts and confusion.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Handle and restrict unwanted/bot traffic at the ALB layer instead of the application layer.
  • Ensure the ALB identifies and filters bot or unwanted traffic before it reaches application instances.
Original issue

Problem

Currently, when a bot or unwanted traffic hits the application, it can trigger application downtime alerts even though the application itself is healthy and available.

This creates false-positive downtime alerts because the traffic is reaching the application layer instead of being handled before it reaches the application.

Proposed Solution

Handle and restrict unwanted/bot traffic at the ALB layer rather than inside the application.

The ALB should identify and filter/restrict bot or unwanted traffic before it reaches the application instances.
