Ping
Overview
A service check for ping involves monitoring the reachability and response times of network devices or hosts using the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request (ping) and echo reply (pong) messages. Ping is a basic network utility used to test connectivity between two devices and measure the round-trip time it takes for a packet to travel from the sender to the receiver and back.
