Agent Spoofing - Mismatched Agent ID
editAgent Spoofing - Mismatched Agent ID
editDetects events that have a mismatch on the expected event agent ID. The status "agent_id_mismatch" occurs when the expected agent ID associated with the API key does not match the actual agent ID in an event. This could indicate attempts to spoof events in order to masquerade actual activity to evade detection.
