When You Need to Know Something Is Alive

Ping monitoring is the simplest and most reliable way to verify a server, router, firewall, or IoT device is reachable. No HTTP stack required — just pure network-level checks.

ICMP Monitoring at the Network Layer

IPv4 & IPv6 Support

Monitor legacy and modern network infrastructure with full dual-stack support.

Multi-Location Pings

Check from multiple continents to spot regional routing issues.

Latency Tracking

Track round-trip latency over time. Spot degrading network conditions before they cause outages.

Configurable Timeouts

Set custom timeout thresholds per monitor based on your network expectations.

Instant Alerts

Get alerted on 14+ channels when a ping fails — Email, Slack, WhatsApp, SMS, phone calls.

Historical Reports

See uptime percentages, latency averages, and downtime incidents over any time range.

Common Use Cases

Bare Metal Servers

Verify physical servers and VPS instances stay reachable.

Network Equipment

Monitor routers, firewalls, and switches at the network layer.

IoT Devices

Keep tabs on edge devices, cameras, and remote hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ping monitoring uses ICMP echo requests to verify a host is reachable over the network. It's the simplest and fastest way to check connectivity.

It works for the server hosting the website, but it doesn't check whether the HTTP service is responding. Use our website monitoring for full application health.

Yes. You can monitor IPv4 or IPv6 targets, or both.

Ping only verifies network reachability. HTTP monitoring verifies the web server responds correctly with the expected status code and content.

Yes. Every ping response time is recorded. View latency charts over custom date ranges to spot trends.
