How can i make it in the online users list so that i can see if robots are on the website.

For Example,

I can't remember if that's supposed to be by default or not (do you see it in the XF default style? maybe they're aren't any yet if your site is new).

This free addon makes it easy to see them and identify them though:

Known Bots

This XenForo 2.x addon adds additional definitions for bot detection in sessions. This allows more accurate indication of the number of users vs robots online at any given time. New bot definitions are pulled automatically via API and potential...

I am pretty sure it is. I always had the robots there as far back as I can remember, just that it only identified common ones like Google and Bing. Others showed as Guest until I installed Known Bots (highly recommended add-in).

bots are not shown in members online widget box. they appear in sitename/online/?type=robot. known bots add tons of new bots into the recognition database. xenforo has a very small list of bigger bots.

to reach there, click on members online header on the widget box and then go to robots section.

The number of bots is shown in the Members Online widget for me. And that does seem to be default, since it shows on forums without Sim's addon installed.

The default members online widget does not show bots.

Show Robot Stats seems like an option on Known Bots add-on so must be that.
