Feature summary

Synthetic monitors add an identifier to the user-agent string, e.g.:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/101.0.4929.0 Safari/537.36 Elastic/Synthetics

The script recorder does not include the suffix, e.g.:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/101.0.4929.0 Safari/537.36

It is possible to configure behavior based on the user-agent string, e.g. to bypass firewalls. This should be consistent between the script recorder and the synthetic monitoring agent.
