Is the host reachable? A clean ICMP answer, every minute.
Scheduled ICMP availability monitoring from PingForce’s 2 US monitor locations. Three consecutive failed checks confirm an incident — no false alerts from a single network blip.
Sometimes you just need to know the box is alive.
Not every target is an HTTP endpoint. A router, a switch, a bare-metal host you ssh into — when the question is "is it up?", you want a scheduled ICMP echo, not a 12-step request configuration. Ping Monitoring is that simple check, running on your interval, confirmed before it pages you.
Ping Monitoring (this page) is not the Ping Feature.
Scheduled ICMP availability checks from 2 US monitor locations, confirmed across 3 checks, with alerting. Use this when you want to know a host is answering on an interval.
On-demand ping and traceroute from 40+ probes across 7 cloud providers. Use this when you want to test from a specific region right now.

ICMP echo from 2 US locations
A clean ping check on a schedule. Reports reachability and round-trip latency from PingForce’s 2 US monitor locations (EU expansion planned).
Configurable interval
Every 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes. 1-minute on paid plans; the free Specialist tier is 5-minute minimum.
3-check confirmation
Three consecutive failed checks open an incident. Three consecutive clean checks close it. No alarms from a single network blip.
Alerts where you want them
Email, SMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or webhook on open and close. Pair with status pages to keep customers in the loop.
The evidence is captured at the moment of failure.
When your monitor catches a problem, our global probe network fires automatically on the third failed check — so when your engineer gets the alert, the forensic data is already attached.

Evidence delivered
Situation report attached to the incident.
The verification runs the moment the issue is happening — not 5 minutes later when you’re trying to reproduce it. A situation report with the regions, routes, and response codes is attached to the incident in your dashboard before your engineer even opens the alert. The first question — “where is this happening?” — is already answered.
