Proactively monitor the availability, performance, and security of your infrastructure and internet-facing services from configurable probe locations, before your users notice a problem.
Synthetic Monitoring in Cloudmon uses active probing to continuously test your services at regular intervals, giving you an objective outside-in view of availability and performance. Unlike passive monitoring that waits for a device to report an issue, Synthetic Monitoring sends real test traffic and measures the result so you know exactly how your services look to the outside world.
Probe-based testing: All synthetic checks are performed from a Cloudmon probe. Choose a probe in the same network segment as the target for internal checks, or a probe with internet access for external-facing services. The probe must be online for checks to run.
Continuous availability checks Test hosts, ports, and websites at every polling interval and get alerted the moment availability drops. | Performance measurement Track latency, jitter, packet loss, and response time to catch degradation before it becomes an outage. | Certificate security Track SSL/TLS certificate expiry, trust chain integrity, cipher strength, and known vulnerabilities across all internet-facing services. |
Connection breakdown For websites, see the full connection lifecycle: DNS lookup, SSL handshake, time to first byte, and download time, so you know exactly where slowdowns occur. | Trace path analysis Map the full hop-by-hop network path to any monitored host or service to identify bottlenecks at specific network hops. | Smart alerts Set thresholds per monitor and notify via email, Teams, Slack, or webhook the moment a check fails or a metric breaches its limit. |
