Why track PingPing Bot traffic?

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

- Search access logs for the user-agent strings listed above
- Check if the IP addresses match documented ranges (if provided by PingPing.io)
