Troubleshooting

Learn how to troubleshoot potential Uptime Monitoring problems.

Some hosting platforms can block incoming requests from Sentry's Uptime Bot, falsely creating uptime issues. We recommend verifying your firewall configuration to ensure incoming requests from Sentry are allowed.

If you need to configure your firewall allowlist to include Sentry's Uptime Bot, we recommend checking against our User-Agent, given that our IP addresses can change without notice.

Our uptime check requests use the following User-Agent:

Copied
SentryUptimeBot/1.0 (+https://docs.sentry.io/product/monitors-and-alerts/monitors/uptime-monitoring/)

See IP Ranges for a complete list of IP addresses used for uptime checks.

Uptime monitors create downtime issues. If you're not receiving notifications when downtimes are detected, make sure you've configured an Alert whose sources and filters match those issues, with actions for the channels you expect.
