## Enhanced AI Crawl Control metrics with new drilldowns and filters

Oct 14, 2025 

[ AI Crawl Control ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/) 

AI Crawl Control now provides enhanced metrics and CSV data exports to help you better understand AI crawler activity across your sites.

#### What's new

#### Track crawler requests over time

Visualize crawler activity patterns over time, and group data by different dimensions:

* **By Crawler** — Track activity from individual AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Bytespider)
* **By Category** — Analyze crawler purpose or type
* **By Operator** — Discover which companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, ByteDance) are crawling your site
* **By Host** — Break down activity across multiple subdomains
* **By Status Code** — Monitor HTTP response codes to crawlers (200s, 300s, 400s, 500s)

* Understand discovery patterns and content popularity from AI operators
