I wanted to clarify something regarding uptime monitoring tools specifically like Upptime, as it uses GitHub Actions to occasionally ping a website and publish a status page.
If I am not wrong. if the server detects pings every 5 minutes, my account can get suspended? What would be the best way to configure Upptime? Just in case here’s the docs:
If it uses a normal “ping” (like using the ping command from the timeline) then it won’t work anyway. The servers don’t respond to pings
I don’t think your account will be suspended. But I also don’t think that the checks from Upptime will work at all. I expect the checks will fail and say the website is down when it’s not, because the checks are blocked by the server.
To be clear, using uptime checkers is not something we support or promote, and it’s entirely possible that the strange traffic behavior will trigger a suspension. I don’t expect it will get that far, but don’t mistake my first sentence as any guarantee that this won’t trigger a suspension.
Just don’t bother with status pages?
So do you thing there could be any workaround?
No, because external requests are blocked and from jobs are not supported.
