Tips for dealing with flaky website monitors
A flaky website monitor is one that intermittently goes up and down. It could be marked as down even when the service is definitely up. Here are a few tips for ensuring StatusGator can monitor your website properly:
- Does your monitor often go down and then right back up?
Try extending the timeout -- your site could be slower than average. - Is your website blocking StatusGator's monitoring agent?
Consider whitelisting our IP addresses. - Does your website block users that look like bots?
You can also try setting a User-Agent header. - Do you block users from certain geographies?
Choose monitoring locations for your preferred regions.
