UptrendsBot
GoodBotVerifiedBOTA synthetic monitoring agent used to perform uptime checks, performance audits, and transaction testing from global ISP-based locations. Operated by ITRS Group.
What is UptrendsBot?
UptrendsBot is the synthetic monitoring agent operated by ITRS Group (Uptrends) that provides digital experience monitoring (DEM) for web services and APIs. It functions by executing automated tests from over 230 global ISP-based checkpoints to simulate real-user interactions, including complex multi-step journeys involving SSO or MFA. By providing an 'outside-in' perspective, it helps organizations identify geography-specific latency, DNS issues, and performance bottlenecks that internal cloud-based observability tools might miss.
Identification
uptrendsWhy it crawls your site
The bot crawls websites to verify that critical user paths and services remain functional and performant for end users worldwide. It acts on behalf of site owners who configure specific monitoring tasks to ensure their infrastructure meets service level agreements (SLAs). Operators can verify the bot's legitimacy by checking the official Uptrends IP range documentation, which is frequently whitelisted by security providers like Cloudflare to ensure monitoring traffic is not blocked by anti-bot protections.
