At a glance

  • Lightweight ICMP-style reachability signal
  • Useful for infrastructure and network targets
  • Pairs well with port and multi-location checks

How it helps

Use ping monitoring when the most important question is whether an IP target is reachable from a monitoring instance.

It provides a lower-level signal than HTTP checks and helps separate host or route issues from application-layer issues.

Combined with other monitors, ping checks help classify whether an outage is local, network-level, or application-specific.
