# IsDownBot

**How It Works**

* **Regular Checks**:

  IsDownBot sends requests at regular intervals — every **1 or 3 minutes**, depending on your configuration.
* **Smart Detection**:

  If **more than 50%** of the requests fail (i.e., return a status code other than **200**), IsDown will **automatically create an incident** and **notify you** about the downtime.

**Global Coverage**

We've servers currently in 3 locations, each with its respective IP, to cover different regions of the globe.

* 146.190.211.155 - North America - New York region;
* 167.99.213.149 - Europe - Amsterdam region;
* 146.190.96.226 - Asia - Singapore region;

All the requests coming from our monitors go with the User Agent:

```ruby
'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; IsDownBot/1.0;)'
```
