SSH Monitor

The SSH Monitor checks whether your SSH service is reachable. It is commonly used to detect firewall issues, network outages, or server crashes affecting administrative access.

How it works

• We attempt to connect to your SSH service.
• If the server cannot be reached, rejects connections unexpectedly, or times out, the check fails.

Configuration

Basic settings

• Hostname: Hostname or IP address.
• Port: Optional (default is typically 22).
• Check interval and Timeout.
• Status: active, maintenance, disabled.

Monitoring locations

SSH checks run from our monitoring locations. Use Allowed Check Countries to limit where checks run from.
