Public probes

Public probes are operated by Grafana labs and run in many global regions, on multiple hosting providers. You can choose from public probes in AMER, EMEA, and APAC.

You can also set up Private probes in Synthetic Monitoring.

If you need to allow access through your firewall, see source IPs for allow-listing.
