Raw reachability and packet loss — a real ICMP echo from every probe node.
Every ICMP (ping) monitor runs on the same spine as the rest of PulseTrace — probed from each region you pick, scored on every check, and streamed into one timeline where incidents open on their own, anomalies surface without a threshold to guess, and reports are generated for you. Point it at a target, choose an interval, and it's watched.
What each check verifies
The panel on the right is the real create-monitor screen — it fills itself in with a ICMP (ping) example, exactly what you'd type.
For hosts, routers and network paths where reachability and packet loss are the question — a VPN gateway, an office router, a bare-metal server. It sends ICMP echo from each region and records loss and round-trip time.
vpn-gw-1 is DOWN — 100% packet loss from all regions for 3 consecutive checks.
