Monitor ping and TCP ports alongside client website checks
DownCTL can monitor basic network reachability and TCP service availability for client checks that do not fit normal HTTP monitoring.
No credit card required during the trial period.
What network monitoring tracks
Ping and TCP port monitoring checks network reachability and service availability for hosts and ports that do not fit normal HTTP checks.
Ping reachability
TCP port availability
Response status
Recent check history
Alert rules
Why it matters
Network and port checks cover services outside normal web pages, helping teams catch firewall, host, and service availability problems.
Some services do not expose normal HTTP pages
Port failures can indicate firewall, service, or host issues
Network checks round out uptime monitoring
How it works in DownCTL
Ping and TCP port checks round out client-site and infrastructure monitoring for non-HTTP services.
- 1 Add a ping or TCP port monitor
- 2 Configure host and port details
- 3 Review check history
- 4 Alert when the monitor fails
Keep exploring the website operations stack
DownCTL checks client websites continuously, records response history, and alerts your team when downtime or slow responses need attention.
DownCTL helps you see DNS failures and reputation issues beside the rest of each client website health story.
Create reusable channels and route each client-site alert rule to the people and tools that should know first.
DownCTL brings server performance metrics into the same client-site dashboard as uptime, alerts, and incidents so you can diagnose reliability problems faster.
Common questions
What is ping monitoring?
