Ping Monitoring
ICMP reachability and round-trip time for any host.
A ping monitor sends ICMP echo requests to a host from each region you assign and records whether it answered and how long it took — the quickest signal that a server or network path is gone.
What it detects
- A host that stops answering
- Rising round-trip times
- A path that fails from one region but not another
How you're alerted
- A ready-made “Ping Down” rule is attached automatically.
Notifications go to any of 8 channels — see notifications.
- Runs from
- Every probe region you assign — down only when all of them agree
- Dashboard
- Round-trip time p50/p95/p99, jitter, probe loss, RTT by location and the split of successful, timed-out and unreachable probes
- Available on
- Free, Professional · Enterprise and Custom on request

View categoryWebsite Monitoring
Track uptime, response time, and page performance from every region you assign.
Advanced Website Monitoring
Regex assertions, forbidden keywords, and custom request headers and bodies — check what a page or API actually returns, including authenticated endpoints.
TCP Monitoring
Check that a host's port accepts connections, with connect time tracked from every region you assign.
Advanced TCP Monitoring
TCP over TLS plus send/expect validation — confirm a service actually answers correctly, not just that its port is open.
DNS Monitoring
Track DNS resolution and validate that returned records actually match the values you expect — catch a hijacked or silently changed record, not just a resolution failure.
Cron Job Monitoring
Inbound 'I'm alive' checks for cron jobs and background workers — alerts when a run goes missing, with every ping and each run's duration kept.
API Transaction Monitoring
Chain multiple HTTP requests — extract a value from one response, like a login token, and reuse it in the next.
Synthetic Monitoring
Script a real multi-step browser journey — navigate, click, fill, wait, and assert — for user-flow monitoring beyond a simple uptime check.
