How can we clean up bot-affected experiment data in Statsig?

Date of slack thread: 5/21/24

Anonymous: Hi Team, We have an in progress experiment, and in one of the days some crazy bot messed up the results triggering an event way too many times. Is there a way to clean up statsig results and remove that data on the next recompute?

Tyler (Statsig): Hey <@U067TD4EH45> - depending on how identifiable the bot is there’s a few things you might be able to try.

If you know there’s only a few days in an otherwise long running experiment that got impacted - you could try a custom query (using the explore tab of pulse) to filter out those days (CMD+Click on the datepicker).

If you know the ID the bot would have been using - you can actually just explicitly filter out that user using that advanced option under the explore tab. Happy to offer more in-depth instructions there if it is the case that you know “The bot was userID XXXX”

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
