Network Monitoring

See every cloud, region, and network path before customers notice an issue. Track performance across major cloud providers, public locations, and private nodes so teams can spot DNS, handshake, CDN, and hosting issues from the places users and partners actually operate.

Monitor from the locations your users depend on.

Run API and network checks from public cloud data centers, private networks, and your own VMs to understand where latency, DNS, handshakes, CDN handoffs, or hosting choices are changing the customer experience.

Cross-cloud visibility

Monitor from the cloud data centers partners and users use.

Run checks across major public cloud providers around the world. Then compare performance by region, provider, and path.

  • Public locations across major cloud providers
  • Regional and provider-level performance comparison
  • Fast setup for endpoints and OpenAPI imports
Inside your network

Deploy private nodes behind the firewall.

Measure internal network performance and monitor private services without exposing sensitive systems to public networks.

  • Outbound-only private node monitoring
  • Internal API and service checks
  • Deploy on cloud, hybrid, on-prem, or your own VMs
Network diagnostics

Find DNS, handshake, CDN, and routing issues quickly.

Break down each API call into the network timings teams need to isolate misconfigurations, provider issues, and regional bottlenecks.

  • DNS, connection, TLS, and transfer timing
  • CDN and service-provider handoff evidence
  • Benchmark against peer services and regions
Key Features

Everything you need in production.

  • Public coverage: Monitor from public locations on the cloud and data centers your stakeholders use.
  • Private locations: Run the same network checks inside private environments and behind firewalls.
  • Cloud comparison: Compare providers, regions, and hosting locations with the same checks.
  • Detailed timings: Inspect DNS, handshake, connection, CDN, and API response behavior.
  • Fast issue isolation: See whether the problem is your API, a network path, or a broader provider issue.
  • Actionable alerts: Route network and API issues to the teams that own response.

Network telemetry supports public cloud, private nodes, dashboards, and alerting workflows
