Trusted by teams at companies around the world

"Pulsetic made monitoring something I barely think about anymore. The interface is clean and the tracking is real-time, so I can glance at my site’s performance and get back to work."

Koen Kanters

Senior Software Engineer at ASML

"Pulsetic is easy-to-use and simple to get started. As an agency, I like that it includes unlimited status pages, because I can create one for each of my clients. Pulsetic includes every alert channel that I want, and advanced settings that give me greater confidence in the uptime. I can require that a response include certain text and respond within a certain timeframe in order for a site to be considered online. This gives me assurance that we would be notified if there were major performance issues or a bad deployment that made the site unusable. These features come with every paid plan, so our monthly bill is predictable. The API is a huge bonus on the teams plan. We have used it to add maintenance windows for certain monitors automatically based on events that happen in other software we use."

FAQ: Port Monitoring

What is port monitoring, and why is it important?

It watches specific network ports on a server or device and checks whether they answer. That tells you the services behind them, HTTP, FTP, or SMTP, are still doing their job. The payoff: you catch connectivity problems before your users ever notice.

How does port monitoring work?

At set intervals, the tool pings the ports you've chosen and records what comes back. If the service behind a port is up and reachable, the response confirms it.

What's the best way to monitor network ports for availability?

Let an automated service do the watching. It checks your ports on a regular schedule and pings you the moment one stops responding, so you're not the last to find out.

What problems can unresponsive ports indicate?

A port that won't answer usually points to something real: a crashed server, a misconfigured network, a firewall blocking traffic, or a failed service. None of these can wait.

How frequently does port monitoring check for availability?

You set the interval. Critical systems can be checked every few seconds; for services that matter less, a check every few minutes is plenty.

Can port monitoring help prevent service outages?

Often, yes. When a problem surfaces early and you get an alert right away, you can fix it while it's still small, long before it snowballs into a full outage.

What types of alerts does port monitoring provide?

Alerts land in real time wherever you'll see them fastest: email, SMS, or a message in Slack or Discord. The point is that the news reaches you while it still matters.

How does port monitoring support multiple services on a single server?

One server often runs several services at once. Port monitoring keeps an eye on all of them in parallel, so your web server, database, and email server stay up together.
