WARDBot
WARDBot is a website monitoring crawler that periodically checks URL status codes and page availability so site operators are alerted when pages start returning errors or go offline.
At a glance

How Centinel checks it
- User agent: The request calls itself this crawler. Anyone can send the same string.
WARDBot publishes nothing Centinel can check a source against, so a match reports the name and leaves the source unconfirmed. The match tokens, verification domains, and address feeds are not published here.
Allowing or blocking it
The crawler object in the /validate response sets access_allowed to true only for a verified source that your tenant allowlists. A policy rule can allow or block this crawler by its category, Monitoring.
