Summary

Checkly has expanded its uptime monitoring suite to include ICMP monitoring, allowing engineering teams to enhance visibility across various network layers. ICMP monitors send ping requests to hosts or IP addresses to assess reachability, latency, and packet loss without requiring open ports or application logic, making them ideal for monitoring infrastructure like databases and internal services that lack HTTP endpoints. This feature is particularly useful for private networks, incident triage, and regional latency comparison, allowing teams to quickly identify network issues. ICMP monitoring is fully integrated into Checkly's Monitoring as Code environment, supporting automation tools like Terraform and Pulumi, and is available on all plans at a flat-rate pricing model. Users can configure and manage ICMP monitors through Checkly's dashboard or by using the CLI, facilitating seamless integration into existing workflows.
