I'm checking the logs of a chatbot I made for a client and I see something a bit strange. I get new users on quite a regular basis, one every to 10 minutes (more or less) And these user never go beyond the welcome intent.
It's as if a new person asked to talk with my assistant, got the welcome intent, then did absolutely nothing. Every time it's from a Google Home device (or anything with no screen capabilities).
It seems a bit odd to me, it's as if bots were checking if my assistant is still alive. I can't find anything on google's documentation mentioning something like this.
Has anyone noted something similar? Anyone could have an explanation to this ?
Best regards :)
Google performs health checks on actions through out the day. The docs only state that they run throughout the day and don't mention a time period between checks, so I am not sure if these requests are just health checks, but you can identify health check requests by their is_health_check property. More on healthchecks can be found here: https://developers.google.com/assistant/console/health-checks
