Monitoring

Ping monitoring.

ICMP / TCP latency probes — quiet networks, loud insights.

Measure round-trip latency from our servers to any host. ICMP echo when it works, automatic TCP-handshake fallback when ICMP is filtered. Each probe streams live with terminal-style output, and the result card breaks down min / avg / max / stddev per session.

ICMP echo by default

When ICMP is permitted on the server, we shell out to the system ping binary and parse each reply line as it streams — including platform-specific quirks across Linux, macOS and Windows.

TCP handshake fallback

Many cloud networks block ICMP. If the server can’t use it, we fall back to opening TCP sockets on the port of your choice (default 443) and timing the handshake — and tell you why we switched.

Live terminal-style output

Packets stream into a terminal-style log via Server-Sent Events, line by line, with a blinking cursor. You see each round-trip as it lands, not at the end.

Per-packet RTT chart

Below the terminal, each reply gets a horizontal bar sized to its RTT, so spikes and stragglers are obvious at a glance — no squinting at numbers.

Statistical summary

Once the run completes, the hero card shows min / avg / max / stddev plus packet loss percentage — the same stats classic ping ends with, colored for severity.

Cross-platform parsing

We handle the BSD / Linux / macOS reply format (icmp_seq, ttl, time) and the Windows format (Reply from … TTL=…) in the same pipeline so the result is uniform.
