Check host reachability with ICMP ping from 50+ global locations. Monitor round-trip time and packet loss in real-time.
Essential network monitoring for any infrastructure
Verify that your servers, routers, and network devices are online and reachable from anywhere in the world.
Measure network latency with precise RTT measurements. Track min, avg, max, and standard deviation.
Identify network instability with packet loss monitoring. Get alerted when packet loss exceeds thresholds.
Ping from 50+ locations worldwide. Understand network performance from every region.
Visualize ping latency over time. Identify patterns, anomalies, and degradation before they impact users.
Get notified immediately when hosts become unreachable or latency exceeds thresholds.
Simple setup for essential network monitoring
Provide the IP address or hostname of the server or device you want to monitor.
Select monitoring locations based on where your users or infrastructure are located.
Define acceptable latency and packet loss thresholds for your alerts.
We continuously ping your hosts and alert you the moment issues arise.
ICMP ping works with any IP-enabled device. Monitor servers, routers, switches, firewalls, and IoT devices.
Ping operates at the network layer, detecting issues that higher-level protocols might miss.
Establish network performance baselines and detect degradation before it affects applications.
Ping is the first step in any network troubleshooting. Know if hosts are reachable before investigating further.
Common questions about ping monitoring
Some firewalls block ICMP by default. If ping monitoring shows your host as down when it's actually up, consider using TCP port monitoring instead, or whitelist our probe IP addresses in your firewall for ICMP traffic.
Normal latency depends on distance. Same-region pings are typically 1-20ms, cross-continent can be 100-200ms, and intercontinental might be 200-300ms. Set thresholds based on your baseline measurements from each region.
Any packet loss over 0% indicates network issues. 1-2% might be tolerable for non-critical applications, but VoIP and video require 0%. We recommend alerting on any packet loss to catch problems early.
Our external probes can only ping publicly routable IP addresses. For internal network monitoring, you would need an on-premise solution or a VPN-connected monitoring agent.
Ping checks basic network connectivity using ICMP, while HTTP monitoring tests the web server application. A successful ping doesn't guarantee the web service is working—use both for comprehensive monitoring.
