It's an issue with case - XenForo changes the user agent to lower case when checking for a match, however the key contains an upper case character causing the error.
Just a note, the user agent doesn't have to be a full string - it can be a substring, such as pingdom.com_bot

The screenshots in the resource are fairly self explanatory: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/custom-robots.3192/
Especially this one:
Enter the details for each robot you want to define.

Thanks for the fix.
Now I got a question. Is it needed to run the query even when the person browsing the forum is a registered member? Afaik bots are always guests... this has been happening from the first version and I believe there is a reason for that but maybe it is a bug...

Because when the new bots are added to the system, there is no way to check if someone is logged in or not

The substring should just be
- the XenForo system does a substring check on the full user agent.

The substring should just be

Thanks! And if they are now as guests on my page, with adding this custom robot, it should be viewed as Robot instead?
Will this instant be updated if I refresh my "whos online now" page? Or do I have to wait for a new session from that bot?

All correct... Instant.

So I am having some issues with i.e Twitterbot.
From Xenforo
From Twitter
So we know the user-agent for the bot is Twitterbot.
And as you can see, this is what I use as well.
However the server logs says this:
ErrorException: Undefined index: twitterbot - library/XenForo/Session.php:877

Is this something on my side? Something I can do to fix?
Or is it something else?
