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.

Great improvement! How do we set this via api rather than having to click through each monitor individually?

And that should not be list of 500 random IPs but maybe 3 or 4 entriess in CIDR notation FFS… How you expect people to whitelist in systems when you have to define IP objects by hand? Sweet Jesus.

This feature is now live! 🎉 You can finally choose your preferred monitoring locations when creating or editing a monitor.

We’ve seen all the follow-up ideas (API support, IP simplification, presets, you name it) — some are already in the works, others might need a separate discussion. If you’re missing something specific, please create a new suggestion so we can track and prioritize it properly.

Thanks to everyone who pushed for this — we appreciate the feedback.

Can we see doc where it is? This is confusing

“Region to monitor from” is set to “Default (auto-select by UptimeRobot)” and read only everywhere I look.

No “upgrade to unlock” link and no mention of regions on the pricing page. Does this require a paid plan?

An update from the blog post at https://uptimerobot.com/blog/location-specific-monitoring/:

This feature is available on all paid plans (Solo, Team, and Enterprise).
