ICMP Monitor - Ping Test for Basic Connectivity

the icmp monitor performs ping tests to verify basic network connectivity to hosts by sending icmp echo request packets and measuring responses creating a new icmp monitor navigate to synthetic monitoring > monitors click add new select icmp ping test for basic connectivity from the monitor type dropdown basic settings host enter the hostname or ip address of the target site to ping the hostname or ip address of the target site to ping monitor name provide a descriptive name for the icmp monitor check interval define how frequently ping tests should be executed timeout set the maximum time to wait for ping responses before marking the check as failed monitoring locations select one or more geographic locations from which ping tests will originate notification settings configure notification channels to receive alerts when the icmp monitor detects host unreachability icmp (ping) configuration ping count specify the number of icmp echo request packets to send in each test cycle interval (ms) set the time interval between individual ping packets, measured in milliseconds packet size (bytes) define the size of the icmp payload in each ping packet ttl (time to live) configure the maximum number of router hops a ping packet can traverse before being discarded assertions assertions validate ping test results and network performance metrics avg rtt (ms) calculates the average round trip time for ping packets from sender to target and back packet loss (%) measures the percentage of ping packets that received no reply packets received counts the number of successful icmp echo reply responses min rtt (ms) records the shortest round trip time among all pings sent max rtt (ms) records the longest round trip time among all pings sent metrics metrics available to be monitored in dashboard section metric name type description labels kloudmate synthetic check network round trip time gauge round trip time for a packet (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network min rtt gauge minimum round trip time for a packet (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network max rtt gauge maximum round trip time for a packet (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network packets sent gauge number of packets sent (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network packets received gauge number of packets received (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network packets lost gauge number of packets lost (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location kloudmate synthetic check network packets lost percent gauge percentage of packets lost (for icmp) check id, check name, check type, target, workspace id, location related resources docid\ havdqjo3vuqjuqqg9rrff
