# Multi-location monitoring. One monitor. Every region covered. Assign multiple regions to a single monitor, set region-specific alert thresholds, and track every incident on a single unified timeline. ## How multi-location monitoring works in UptimeRobot ### One monitor, multiple regions Instead of creating a separate monitor for each region, you can add all the regions you need to a single monitor. Fewer monitors to manage, one place to check status. ### Region-specific response time thresholds Each region can have its own response time threshold. A server in North America and a server in Asia do not need to meet the same number. ### Incidents tied to specific regions When a check fails in a region, the incident shows which one. If other regions also start failing, they are added to the same incident. ### Bulk region updates You can change the region configuration for multiple monitors at once. Select the monitors, pick the regions, and apply. No need to edit them one by one. ### E-mail E-mail is a basic form of outages notifications. Get alerted! ### SMS Get alerted instantly by SMS, even when you are offline! ### Voice call Get an automatic voice call alert whenever your website is down. ## Respond swiftly to region-specific outages. Receive real-time notifications the moment one region encounters performance issues. With up to 21 integrations—including push notifications, email, and SMS—you’ll be ready to act, no matter where you are. ## Keep your focus local. Tailor your monitoring to the regions that matter most. With location-specific monitoring, you'll only get alerts when issues affect your local audience. Choose from four regions — North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia — or let UptimeRobot auto-assign with the Default option. Assign multiple regions to a single monitor for broader coverage without the clutter. ## Improve user experience. Identify regional slowdowns or connectivity issues to ensure every visitor enjoys a fast, seamless experience. Monitor performance across the globe—all from a single, user-friendly dashboard. ## Explore more uptime monitoring features.

We have been using UptimeRobot consistently for several years. We love the quick alerts when monitored services are offline. Awesome. I use it to monitor my client’s websites and web apps. It’s very simple and just works for me, for years now. Very effective software to monitor our sites, has a nice overview, and it’s easy to configure. ## Frequently Asked Questions. - **What is multi-location monitoring?** Multi-location monitoring checks your website or service from multiple geographic regions instead of a single server. It catches outages, routing failures, and CDN issues that only affect users in specific parts of the world. UptimeRobot monitors from four regions: North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. - **How does UptimeRobot's multi-location monitoring work?** You assign one or more regions to a monitor, and checks rotate across those regions at your chosen interval. When a failure is detected, UptimeRobot confirms it from multiple nodes within that region before opening an incident. This confirmation step reduces false positives. Region-specific thresholds let you control when each region triggers its own alert. - **How many monitoring regions does UptimeRobot offer?** UptimeRobot offers four monitoring regions: North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. A Default option is also available, which lets UptimeRobot auto-assign a region for you. Paid plans unlock the ability to select specific regions and assign multiple regions to one monitor. - **Do I need a separate monitor for each region?** No, you do not need a separate monitor for each region. You can add multiple regions to a single monitor, and checks rotate through them automatically. This keeps your monitor list clean and your incident history in one place instead of scattered across duplicate entries. - **What happens when only one region detects a failure?** UptimeRobot opens a region-specific incident and sends you an alert for that region only. The other regions continue checking normally. This helps you isolate whether the problem is local — such as a CDN edge, a regional ISP, or a geo-routing rule — or global. - **How does UptimeRobot track incidents across regions?** Region-specific failures get their own incident records, so you can see exactly where and when each region experienced downtime. All non-region-specific incidents combine into a single record with one lifecycle: opened, updated, and resolved. The result is a clean timeline without duplicate entries on your dashboard. - **What plans include multi-location monitoring?** The Default setting, where UptimeRobot auto-assigns a region, is available on all plans. To choose specific regions or assign multiple regions to a single monitor, you need a paid plan of any tier.
