Why track Monsidobot traffic?

Validate monitoring coverage. Track which pages Monsidobot checks and how frequently, so your monitoring setup matches your infrastructure requirements.

To verify Monsidobot traffic in your live traffic data:

Search access logs for the user-agent strings listed above
Check if the IP addresses match documented ranges (if provided by Acquia)
Verify the crawl pattern matches documented behavior
Use reverse DNS lookup for additional verification if available

Note: Observed behavior in production environments may differ from official documentation. Live traffic monitoring provides the only reliable verification of actual bot behavior.
