SSH Monitoring

Port 22 auditing.Zero access gaps.

Ensure constant administrative access to your infrastructure. Monitor SSH service availability to detect firewall misconfigurations, server crashes, or unauthorized connection resets across your entire fleet.

Administrative Service Reachability

The SSH Monitor validates that your administrative backbone is reachable. It is a critical check for detecting infrastructure-level failures that impact remote management.

  • Connection Auditing: Regularly attempt TCP handshakes with your SSH service to ensure it accepts incoming management traffic.
  • Outage Detection: Identify server crashes or network outages that prevent administrative login before you need emergency access.
  • Firewall Verification: Detect unexpected connection rejections or blocks caused by changes in security group policies or local firewall rules.

Custom Port & Connectivity Logic

Fine-tune how you monitor your remote access endpoints. Support for custom ports and specific timeout thresholds ensures compatibility with security-hardened environments.

  • Port Flexibility: Monitor the standard port 22 or custom administrative ports used in security-hardened server setups.
  • Latency & Timeout: Configure exact wait times to differentiate between slow network links and total service unavailability.
  • Status Management: Use Maintenance mode to dampen alerts during scheduled updates while keeping monitoring telemetry intact.

Regional Access Guard

Validate SSH connectivity from specific locations to ensure your server's allowlist policies are functioning correctly while identifying regional routing issues.

  • Allowed Check Countries: Limit monitoring execution to specific regions to comply with localized IP whitelisting or geofencing policies.
  • Distributed Probing: Verify accessibility from our global node network to ensure your server isn't isolated by regional ISP failures.
  • Diagnostic Feedback: Receive immediate technical logs whether a failure was caused by a timeout, connection refusal, or host resolution error.
