Allow website monitoring in Cloudflare

Allow website monitoring in Cloudflare

If your site uses Cloudflare, its protections may block StatusGator’s monitoring agent. Set up a WAF rule that skips Cloudflare protections for our IPs so uptime checks work reliably.

How to set up Cloudflare for StatusGator

1. Open WAF for your site

   Sign in to the Cloudflare dashboard, select your domain, then go to Security → WAF.

2. Create a new rule

   Click Create rule.

3. Configure the rule exactly like this

   • Rule name: Allow StatusGator agents (or a name of your choosing)
   • Field: IP Source Address
   • Operator: Is in 
   • Value: the StatusGator monitoring IPs (use the latest list from Whitelisting StatusGator IPs)
   • Action (Then…): Skip
   • Skip components: All WAF components (disables WAF features for our agents) Save and Deploy the rule.

Get the current IPs: Whitelisting StatusGator IPs or fetch programmatically from https://statusgator.com/ips.txt or the StatusGator API.
