Ping Uptime Monitoring for a Straight Answer on Reachability
Ping uptime monitoring sends an ICMP ping to your server at an interval you set, and checks the response to know if it's up or down. No login, no certificate, no page content, just whether the server is actually there.
Getting Started
Start Monitoring in Under A Minute
Create your monitor
Name your monitor, add tags, and select Ping (ICMP) as the type.
Enter your IP or domain
Add the IP address or domain, and select a check interval, every 5 minutes by default, adjustable from there.
Set your alerts
Choose in-app, email, or both, and set how often to resend alerts if a check keeps failing.
Turn on Incidents
A missed response opens an incident automatically, ready to self-assign and track.
Here's Everything It Connects To
A ping monitoring tool offers more than basic reachability checks. See its workflow across the rest of the platform.
Status Pages
Show Reachability, Not Just Website Status
Link a ping monitor to a status page, so infrastructure without its own website still has visible status.
Incident Response
An Unreachable Server Opens a Real Incident
A missed response triggers an incident automatically, tracked and assigned instead of sitting in a log nobody's watching.
Analysis
See the Pattern, Not Just Today's Check
Ping uptime monitoring builds a response history showing exactly how reliably your server responds over time.

Real Scenarios
This Is What It Actually Catches
- DEVOPS
DevOps Teams
A database server drops off the network at 3 AM, caught by server ping monitoring before the application layer even notices.
- IT
IT Teams
Use a ping monitor to watch an internal server with no public website, just by its IP.
- HOST
Hosting Providers
Use network ping monitoring to confirm every server under management is reachable, without checking each one’s actual website.
- AGENCIES
Multi-Vendor Services
A client's backend infrastructure, monitored quietly alongside the website everyone actually sees.
Quick Answers
What is ping uptime monitoring?
Ping monitoring, also called ICMP monitoring, sends an ICMP ping to your server on a schedule and checks the response code to determine if it’s up or down.
Do I need a website to use ping monitoring?
No. IP monitoring works for any server with an IP address or domain, website or not.
What happens when a ping fails?
You're alerted in-app or by email, and an incident can open automatically if Incident Management is turned on.
How is this different from HTTPS monitoring?
HTTPS monitoring checks a full secure web connection, certificate included. Ping monitoring only checks whether the server responds at all, no website required.
How often does Zunoy Uptime check my server?
You choose the interval, every 5 minutes by default, adjustable from there.
Can I control how often I'm re-notified?
Yes. Set an Alert Resend Interval, from a single alert to repeated reminders while it stays down.
Stay Ahead
Never Miss an Unreachable Server
Check one IP as often as you need. No more assuming it's fine because nothing's complained yet, you'll know the moment it stops responding. Set it up once, and it keeps checking in the background.
Checks reachability all the time
Works for any server, no website needed
