## What is UptimeRobot?

Checks endpoints configured for availability monitoring.

## How to identify it

Look for the UptimeRobot identifier in a request’s User-Agent. This is a name match, not identity verification. Version strings may change.

## How to check identity

Compare the source IP with UptimeRobot’s published monitoring IP list and the monitor configured for the requested URL.

## Access and robots.txt

Control the monitor configuration and authenticated access; no robots.txt behavior is asserted here.

## What it means in your analytics

A monitor check measures availability of a configured URL. Exclude these repeated checks from customer or assistant engagement metrics.

## Useful measures

Monitor check failures; Response time; Check cadence.

## What to check next

Match the cadence and endpoint to a monitor you own. A blocked check may explain a downtime alert even when browsers can load the page.
