3LA Probe

A server-side probe used by the Log Analyzer to detect and classify AI-crawler and bot activity in server logs — the base unit for measuring how AI agents actually access a site.

A 3LA Probe inspects raw server-log entries to fingerprint AI crawlers and bots (e.g. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) by user-agent, IP range and request behaviour. Where an LLM Probe measures what models say, a 3LA Probe measures what they fetch — revealing which pages AI agents actually crawl, how often, and where citation-relevant content is being missed.
