Q: Will you have the ability to create ping monitors?

We're currently using Status Cake, and one of the features we use is the ping monitor to measure uptime at a client site (checking their internet). I created a free account at Kloudfox and couldn't see this as a current feature.

If it is something you will add, we would need to lock this down to the sending IP address. In other words, we deny ping requests unless it's allowed in the firewall(s). Would that be an issue?

Thanks!

A: Hi MrSmickers,

Thank you for reaching out and for trying out KloudFox!

To clarify, KloudFox does indeed offer similar functionality to StatusCake, including the ability to monitor uptime using ping monitors. You can use this feature to measure uptime at your client’s site by checking their internet connectivity.

Regarding your concern about restricting ping requests to specific IP addresses, that’s no problem. You can configure your firewall to only allow ping requests from KloudFox’s IPs, ensuring that monitoring works securely within your network setup.

If you need help setting up or have any further questions, feel free to reach out. We’re here to assist!

Best regards,
KloudFox Team
