Questions

Ping monitoring FAQ

Does my device need to respond to ping?

Yes, ICMP echo requests must be allowed from the LucidStack probe addresses.

How many packets are sent?

A short batch of packets on every check, to measure both latency and loss.

Can I ping a private address?

No, only public addresses are accepted: the probes check your devices from the internet.

Is ping enough for a website?

No: a machine can answer ping while the website is down. Combine it with HTTP monitoring.
