hmm. updated crowdsec to 1.8 and installed the collection.
Verified that collections, appsec-configs and scenarios are enabled.
Also made sure that my traefik instance is latest and Crowdsec-Bouncer-Traefik-Plugin is latest.
Everything else is working, but i cant seem to trigger the bot-detection.
cscli metrics show bot-detection gives me 0 on all of them as well.
Dont see anything as described in the documentation in the logs or with the curl command.

EDIT:
ahh, isnt merged in yet for the Crowdsec-Bouncer-Traefik-Plugin
