Availability Monitor (ping)
From the internet, the Availability (Ping) Monitor from Catbird is one of the most basic, and essential, tests to determine availability of your Internet connection and Website, and thus a vital part of your business. The Catbird Ping Monitor constantly “knocks” on your door. When the ping exceeds a preset threshold, Catbird does a trace route to help diagnose the delay and pinpoint where–geographically–customers are having problems reaching you. Given that it checks whether people are able to reach your website from a particular geographic area, data from the Ping Monitor also provides statistics on local Internet providers, indicating which routinely experience problems that need amelioration.
Inside the firewall, Ping is a utility used to determine whether a particular computer is currently connected to the network. It works by sending a packet to the specified IP address and waiting for a reply. Typical uses of the Availability monitor inside the firewall is to verify that the network infrastructure is operating correctly, particularly with multi-site, multi-vendor, installations.
