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, websites, and FTP endpoints 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. |
