Health Check always checks twice, why?

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

I have set up a Health Checker that checks a site every minute. I set exactly one region. However in the Health Check Log i see always a check by GLOBAL and a check by my selected REGION. How can I get rid of the GLOBAL check?

Screenshot of the error

In our server logs I also see that cloudflare checks multiple times every minute. There are simultaneous requests coming in. It should be only one!

I also observe that Cloudflare sends ways too many HTTP requests.
Here is an excerpt:

1:01:01,924 : Healthcheck Request, 141.101.66.115
1:01:01,932 : Healthcheck Request, 141.101.66.115
1:01:01,933 : Healthcheck Request, 141.101.66.115
1:01:01,975 : Healthcheck Request, 172.68.101.4

Why are the first 3 sent in the same second? Is this a Cloudflare Bug? According to my timeout setting of 15 seconds and Retries=1 , Cloudflare should wait at least 15 seconds before sending another request!

“Cloudflare will run Health Checks from three data centers in each region that you select”

See…

ok, so you’re saying all 3 data centers use the very same IP? Doesn’t make sense to me.
Also: why should they do this in the same Second? They could have a gap of 1 sec at least.
Also: why is the global also appearing? see screenshot. I don’t want the global to check too.
