MonitoringMonitoring types
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.
How it works
- We attempt to connect to your SSH service.
- If the server cannot be reached, rejects connections unexpectedly, or times out, the check fails.
Configuration
Basic settings
- Hostname: Hostname or IP address.
- Port: Optional (default is typically 22).
- Check interval and Timeout.
- Status:
active,maintenance,disabled.
Monitoring locations
SSH checks run from our monitoring locations. Use Allowed Check Countries to limit where checks run from.
SMTP Monitor
The SMTP Monitor verifies that your SMTP server is reachable and responsive. This helps you detect outages of outbound mail gateways and mail delivery infrastructure before users report missing emails.
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.
