Verify network reachability from multiple regions
ICMP Ping Monitoring
The simplest check for the most fundamental question: is this host reachable? Uptimy pings your servers from our global infrastructure and alerts you the moment they stop responding.

03:07 · the problem
Network issues hide until they cascade
Application monitoring catches errors, but network issues are harder to detect. A server might be running perfectly but unreachable due to routing changes, firewall updates, or ISP problems. By the time your application logs show connection timeouts, users are already affected.
Multi-Region Checks
Ping from US, EU, and Asia to detect regional issues.
Latency Tracking
Historical graphs show latency trends over time.
Packet Loss Detection
Catch intermittent connectivity problems.
Instant Alerts
Know immediately when hosts become unreachable.
03:08 · where it breaks
Network failures that go undetected
Without ping monitoring, network issues remain invisible until applications start failing:
- ✗Routing changes where ISP updates silently break connectivity
- ✗Cloud provider network issues that degrade regional connectivity
- ✗Firewall misconfigurations where security updates block traffic
- ✗ISP peering problems that stop specific regions from reaching you
07:30 · how Uptimy fixes it
Global ping checks, instant alerts
Uptimy sends ICMP echo requests to your hosts from multiple global regions. We track response times, detect packet loss, and alert you immediately when hosts become unreachable.
- ✓Multi-region ping from US, EU, and Asia
- ✓Latency tracking with historical graphs
- ✓Packet loss detection and alerting
- ✓Distinguish regional vs global outages

Getting Started
Set up ping monitoring in seconds:
- 1
Create a Ping Monitor
Select ICMP Ping as your monitor type and enter the host or IP address.
- 2
Select Check Regions
Pick US, EU, and Asia regions to detect location-specific network issues.
- 3
Set Latency Thresholds
Define warning and critical latency limits. Get alerted before slowdowns become outages.
- 4
Configure Packet Loss Alerts
Set acceptable packet loss percentage. Catch intermittent connectivity issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions
ICMP ping monitoring sends echo requests to your hosts and measures response time. It detects if a host is reachable at the network layer, measures round-trip latency, and identifies packet loss patterns.
Use ping monitoring to verify basic network reachability and detect infrastructure-level issues. Use HTTP monitoring to verify your application is responding correctly. Often you want both. Ping catches network issues while HTTP catches application issues.
Yes! With multi-region ping checks, you can distinguish between complete outages (all regions fail) and network-specific issues (some regions succeed). This helps identify routing problems or regional connectivity issues.
This depends on your infrastructure. For same-region checks, alert on >50ms. For cross-region, 100-200ms is normal. Set thresholds based on your baseline. We show you historical latency to help you decide.
