ICMP

Ping Monitor in MCT is a type of synthetic check that simulates the basic network connectivity test known as ping. This monitor assesses the reachability and responsiveness of a target server or network device by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo requests and measuring the time taken for the corresponding echo replies.

MCT Ping Monitor also extended the functionality by comparing with another IP. If the target hostname responses by different IP comparing with Compared IP, it will also be considered as a failure.
