For site owners and firewall admins
Uptimia monitoring bots
Uptimia users pick the websites, APIs and servers to check. Uptimia's monitoring locations run the checks. Below is what those requests look like, which IP addresses send them and how to reach us.
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Uptimia; +https://www.uptimia.com/bot)… Chrome/<version> Safari/537.36 Uptimia/1.0 (+https://www.uptimia.com/bot)Uptimia-ApiMonitor/1.0 (+https://www.uptimia.com/bot)The short version
What a site owner or a firewall admin needs to know.
A customer, a trial account or a free account added your address to a monitor. Uptimia does not pick the sites.
Every default user agent contains the word Uptimia. Updated monitoring locations also add the address of this page.
Every monitoring location is in a plain-text list your firewall can load.
Monitoring checks run because a user asked for that address to be checked.
From every 30 seconds upward, within the limits of their plan.
E-mail the domain, the time and the IP address you saw to complaints@uptimia.com
What each check sends
The user picks the check type and the address. Each check type sends a different request.
User agents
The User-Agent headers monitoring checks send by default. A user can replace the user agent of a website or API check with their own User-Agent header, so match the IP address too.

The Chrome version follows the Chromium release running on the monitoring location, so it changes when the browser is updated.

A header check may repeat one page request with this browser-style user agent. It still names Uptimia and links to this page. No browser runs.
Monitoring locations that have not been updated yet still send these strings. They contain the word Uptimia but no link to this page.

How often checks run
Each user picks the interval for each monitor. These are the shortest intervals each plan allows.
| Check | Free | Basic | Professional and higher, trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website and keyword | 5 min | 1 min | 30 s |
| Page speed | Not included | 5 min | 1 min |
| Transaction | Not included | 10 min | 10 min |
| API | 5 min | 1 min | 1 min |
| SSL certificate | Not included | From every 10 minutes to once a day | |
The user chooses how many locations confirm, and each one is a different location. An API check set to 1 confirmation reports the failure without a second location. A few accounts have shorter intervals agreed with Uptimia.
IP addresses
Monitoring checks come from the addresses in this list. The list changes when monitoring locations are added or moved.

94.131.2.254Let the checks through
If a firewall, a WAF or bot protection blocks the checks, they fail and the user sees your site as down.
Load the plain-text list into your firewall or WAF allowlist and refresh it on a schedule. For nginx, save the nginx allowlist as a file and include it in a geo block.
geo $uptimia {
default 0;
include /etc/nginx/uptimia-ips.conf;
}
A user can set their own User-Agent header, and anyone can send a user agent with the word Uptimia. Match the IP address as well.
The Web Health Index scanner runs on some of the same monitoring locations, so allowing these addresses also lets it through. To stop it without blocking monitoring, add a robots.txt group for User-agent UptimiaHealthIndex with Disallow: /. The Web Health Index scanner page shows the two lines.
Monitoring you did not ask for
An Uptimia user can add any public address to a monitor. If the checks on your site are unwanted, tell us.
E-mail complaints@uptimia.com- The domain that was checked
- The time of the requests, with the time zone
- The IP address you saw
You can also block the IP addresses above. The user who set up the check then sees it fail.
The free tools on uptimia.com, such as the HTTP status checker, send one-off requests when a visitor runs them. They are not monitoring, and some send a browser user agent without the word Uptimia.
