UptimeGlass bot

If you found this address in your server log, a site owner asked us to check that their website is up.

How to recognise our checks

Every request carries this user agent:

UptimeGlass/1.0 (+https://uptimeglass.com/bot)

We load the page the site owner gave us every 30 seconds to 5 minutes, check once more 15 seconds after a failure, follow up to 5 redirects and never submit forms or log in.

Addresses our checks come from

• 172.28.0.11

For firewall scripts: plain-text list.

Allow or block the bot

If you own the site, allow the addresses above in your firewall or security plugin so checks are not mistaken for an attack. If you do not want these checks on a site you own, block the user agent – or write to us and we will stop them.

Report abuse

Monitoring a site to put load on it breaks our acceptable use policy. Tell us the site and the time through the complaint form and we will look into it.
