Network monitoring
Path health, latency and loss between the points that matter.

Network monitoring
Network monitoring validates connectivity and path health between points that matter — an on-prem agent to a database, between data centers, or out to a third-party API. It answers "is the path healthy and where is the latency/loss?" not just "is the host up?"
Capabilities
- Network tests — reachability, latency, packet loss and jitter to a target, from your network agents, on a schedule.
- Path analysis — hop-by-hop route and AS path to localize degradation.
- Network agents — placed at the vantage points you care about (a branch, a VPC, a region).
Configuration
- Target — host/IP and (where relevant) port/protocol.
- Source agent(s) — which vantage points run the test.
- Thresholds — alert when latency/loss exceed a budget.
- Schedule — how often to probe.
Cases
- DB reachability: from the app's VPC agent to the database host — alert on loss.
- Inter-DC link: latency/jitter between two regions, to catch link degradation.
- Third-party dependency: path to a payment provider, to prove "it's them, not us".
In a Workbook, the Network Probe node lets you confirm the app can reach its database before asserting on a write.
