Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From MontasticMonitor?
MontasticMonitor's traffic often follows fixed intervals like a cron job. Activity may consist of short recurring checks or occasional intensive bursts, but it usually remains limited to a specific set of pages or endpoints.
Does MontasticMonitor Follow Robots.txt Rules?
No. MontasticMonitor is not expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule only communicates your preference. Enforce the block with firewall or server rules, then use Agent Analytics to verify that its requests stop.
Is MontasticMonitor Used for AI Model Training?
Not ordinarily. MontasticMonitor is not categorized as an AI training scraper or data provider, so AI model training is not its expected purpose.
Does Blocking MontasticMonitor Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. MontasticMonitor's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does MontasticMonitor Access Private Content?
Only when configured with access. A team may grant MontasticMonitor credentials to monitor staging sites or private health endpoints. Without those credentials, it sees only public pages.
How Can I Verify a Request From MontasticMonitor?
Agent Analytics tracks MontasticMonitor visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "MontasticMonitor". Look for repeated checks of the same pages or endpoints at regular intervals. Because MontasticMonitor does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
How Is MontasticMonitor Different From Other Montastic Agents?
Montastic operates separate agents for different purposes, so each agent should be evaluated and controlled independently.
