Summary0005424: Uptime bots might trigger health check
DescriptionMay want to consider that uptime robots may trigger the health check for unusually high bot activity. They are by nature supposed to frequently load websites to make sure they work. Perhaps add a health check option to exclude certain bots by User Agent regex or IP address.
Additional InformationThis happens for me where I have an uptime bot pinging my sites once every 5 minutes.

There already is a way to configure this: text/bots.txt or text_custom/bots.txt

Actually I take that back... bots.txt is for bots which we want to serve cache. Uptime bots should probably not be served cache. I created a new file, uptime_bots, used specifically by the Health Check.
