Guide how to configurate Ping check

Check a site, server, or any device, connected to the web, by ICMP.

To set up site monitoring for Ping check, follow these steps:

  1. Select “Ping check” as the monitoring type.

  2. Enter the URL/Domain/IP of the website you want to monitor in the provided field.

  3. Optionally, assign a task name for easy identification.

  4. Set an interval for how often the check should be performed (e.g., every 3 minutes).

  5. Adjust the timeout setting according to your preference. If a response is not received within this time, an alert will be triggered.

  6. Add tags if needed for categorization and faster search within your monitored sites group.

  7. Enable or disable options like full log, open stats, and web users monitoring according to your requirements: 

    • Full log: Allows saving every check result without grouping them.

    • Open stats: Share statistics and logs with other people, including unregistered users.

Under the “Locations” tab, choose specific regions or “All world” to monitor from various geographical locations.

Choose Your Notification Preferences:

  • In the “Subscribe all selected” section, you’ll find three options: 

    • “Up”: Select this if you want to receive notifications via email one month, 7 days, and 3 days before your domain expiration date.

    • “Down”: Choose this option to get notified when your domain name has already expired.

    • “Repeat”: Opt for this if you wish to receive daily alerts until the issue is resolved.

Uptime Reports:

  • Under “Subscribe all selected,” choose the frequency of uptime reports: daily, weekly, or monthly.

  • Enter an email address where these reports will be sent.

  • Click “Save” to apply your settings.
