Generate probes in NEO Sense using your XML Sitemap
In today’s fast-paced digital world, having a website that functions correctly is crucial for any business. However, constantly monitoring your website and its pages can be a daunting task. That’s where synthetic monitoring tools like NEO Sense come in handy.
With NEO Sense, users can create probes to monitor website performance, availability, and response times. In addition, NEO Sense has a feature that allows users to generate probes using their XML sitemap. In this article, we’ll explore how to generate probes in NEO Sense using your XML sitemap. So, without further ado:
Meet NEO Sense: The web application version of Monika. It simplifies the use of Monika through an easy-to-use dashboard interface. It provides a graphical user interface to create probes, set alerts and notifications, and check the validity of your TLS/SSL certificates.
Using NEO Sense, you can probe your websites and endpoints from multiple locations. Below is the list of available locations currently:
- Jakarta, Indonesia
- Banten, Indonesia
- West Java, Indonesia
- Singapore, Singapore
- Tokyo, Japan
- New Jersey, United States
You can start using NEO Sense by navigating to https://neosense.bgnlab.id and creating an account. You will receive an email to confirm your account.
After confirming your email, log in to the website, and you will be redirected to the Create Organization page. Fill out the organization details and click Create.
You will be redirected to the Create Project page. Set your first project name, and select your time zone. By default, it will automatically use your current time zone. Click Continue to go to the dashboard.
Let’s assume that you already have an XML Sitemap from your website. As an example, we will be using the Monika website’s sitemap.
After we have our XML sitemap file, go to your project page. Click the caret icon beside the “Import Monika button” and click “Upload Sitemap File”. Then, select your XML sitemap file.
Wait for the upload process. Once it’s done, your projects page should have new probes generated from your XML sitemap file. From there, you can assign locations, modify alerts, and do whatever you want with your newly created probes just like your other probes.
Congratulations! Now you can use your existing XML sitemap file in NEO Sense!

In conclusion, generating probes in NEO Sense using an XML sitemap is a convenient and efficient way to monitor your website’s performance. By automating the process of creating probes, you can save time and ensure that all pages on your site are being monitored regularly.
