modat
GoodBotCommunity-sourcedA specialized bot used for internal verification and service health checks within the Modat ecosystem. Operated by Modat.
What is modat?
Modat is a proprietary automated agent operated by the Modat platform to ensure the integrity and availability of its web services. It functions primarily as a heartbeat and diagnostic tool, periodically checking endpoints to verify that resources are reachable and responding within expected parameters. Unlike general-purpose crawlers, it does not index content for search or training purposes, focusing instead on maintaining operational stability.
Identification
Why it crawls your site
The bot crawls specific endpoints to perform automated health checks and latency measurements required for the platform's internal monitoring dashboards. By identifying downtime or performance degradation in real-time, it allows the operator to trigger alerts and maintain service level agreements. Verification can be performed by checking that the requests originate from the known IP ranges associated with Modat's infrastructure.
IP ranges
Requests from modat originate from these published ranges. For strict verification, match the source IP against this list in addition to checking the user-agent and reverse-DNS.
Block or allow modat
Add a Disallow rule for modat in your robots.txt file. You can also block at the server level using your web server configuration or CDN firewall rules to filter requests matching the user-agent string.
# Block modat from crawling your entire site User-agent: modat Disallow: / # Allow modat full access User-agent: modat Allow: /
Ensure your robots.txt allows modat. Verify requests by checking the user-agent string.
