Description

@fekir

I'm using --ignore-crawlers (together with --unknowns-as-crawlers) for removing bots from the report, but in the "Operating Systems" section, goaccess reports in the UI multiple unknown crawlers.
There are no known crawlers.

I would have expected to see no crawler at all.

From the man page

       --ignore-crawlers
              Ignore crawlers from being counted.

       --unknowns-as-crawlers
              Classify unknown OS and browsers as crawlers.

goaccess version:

GoAccess - 1.9.3.

Build configure arguments:
  --enable-utf8
  --enable-geoip=mmdb
  --with-openssl

did I misunderstand the documentation, or is this a bug?

Is there a way to find out which entries are still recognized as crawler but not filtered out?
I could not find the information in the report generated with -o /tmp/report.csv
