Possibility to choose location that the service is monitored from#40

is it possible to set the location from where to check? for example, my resource needs to be checked only from one country.

Possibility to be able to select multiple locations in a specified region to check from, in a representative location where warm CDN nodes and most customers of the checked service are located.

It would be awesome to expand on this idea and also implement the ability to monitor a service from multiple regions simulataneously, as well as have separate graphs for response time broken-down by each region for a service.

This would be particularly useful for Anycast networks and identifying routing issues in different parts of the world.

Great idea, the latency it shows is too high, definately not pinging from my local country.

We sometimes experience false-positives for some reason. We are doing business only in the netherlands, if we can ping only from here that would be nice to prevent false positives because of network issues around the globe.

Hello Team, do you have new about this new feature ? We can’t wait to use it :)

Yeah, this feature would be great to have a real response time for small webpages with mainly local visitors.

some of our sites are accessible through IP whitelist. we need to be able to lockdown the IP source and provide some consistency.

Is there any update on the availability of this capability? The five US-based /28 ranges were challenging enough, but white-listing nearly 150 IPs from all over the world is a hard-no from our cyber folks. Since yesterday, I am receiving inbound monitoring pings from lots of new IPs and my monitors are flapping as a result.

Even selecting only US, EU etc would be great addition.

I have to echo the challenges of whitelisting 150 IPs. We have hardware that every IP had to be manually entered and to scale out is just unreasonable. Thus, we are actually seriously considering leaving UptimeRobot after being happy customers for over 5 years. Up until recently, we could rely on only whitelisting Dallas subnets. Now, the monitors are coming from everywhere. Unless it is addressed soon, we will likely be leaving and going self-hosted or somewhere else. Very sad…

We are preparing for the release of first version of multi-location check where you will be able to select the region of requests. We already updated our Location page to show IPs region based.
All paid customers are currently monitored from North America region, no changes here. If you don’t plan to use any other region, you don’t have to whitellist all our IPs, but only those in your region.
