FTP Monitor
The FTP Monitor checks whether your FTP service is reachable and responsive. This helps detect outages on file transfer infrastructure used by legacy integrations, batch exports, or partner uploads.
How it works
- We connect to your FTP endpoint and verify that the service responds.
- If the server cannot be reached or does not respond within the configured timeout, the check fails.
Configuration
Basic settings
- Hostname: Hostname only, without protocol or path.
- Port: Optional (default is typically 21).
- Check interval and Timeout.
- Status:
active,maintenance,disabled.
Advanced settings
If your server requires authentication or encryption (e.g. FTPS), advanced options can be configured via the monitor settings.
Monitoring locations
FTP checks run from our monitoring locations. Monitor-level Allowed Check Countries (or customer-level defaults) control which locations are used.
SSH Monitor
The SSH Monitor checks whether your SSH service is reachable. It is commonly used to detect firewall issues, network outages, or server crashes affecting administrative access.
IMAP/POP Monitor
The IMAP/POP Monitor verifies that your mail server is reachable for clients. This is useful for detecting authentication and connectivity issues that impact inbox access.
