TCP port monitoring
Not all your services speak HTTP.
Database, SSH access, game server, message queue: LucidStack opens a TCP connection on the port of your choice and checks that the right service answers.

TCP port monitoring
The network layer under control
A simple, fast and reliable check for your TCP services.
Any port
From 1 to 65535, on a hostname or a public IP address.
Expected banner
Check that the service answering is the right one: SSH-2.0, Redis reply, FTP banner…
Connection time
The time to establish the connection is measured and tracked over time, region by region.
Adjustable timeout
From 5 to 60 seconds, depending on how responsive your service should be.
Dependencies
Link the monitor to the server hosting it: if the server goes down, incidents are grouped.
Three regions
A local network glitch doesn't trigger an alert; a real outage does.
