Hi!
This thread is missing some background context info as to what the issues are, if you could forward it it will be great.
Well, I'm not talking about specific issues, except for the general need of identifying which tool is responsible for which queries. Basically, there are several ways of doing it:
1. Adding comments to the query itself 2. Adding query parameters 3. Adding query headers, specifically: a) distinct User-Agent b) distinct X-Analytics header c) custom headers
I think that 3a is good for statistics purposes, though 1 could be more efficient when we need to find out who sent a particular query. 3b may be superior to 3a, but I admit I don't know enough about it :)
