If you cannot reach a server over SSH during an incident, everything gets harder. Monitor SSH availability from several locations and get alerted when access is lost.
SSH is how administrators fix things. A stopped daemon, a firewall change or a misconfigured port can cut off access exactly when you need it.
An SSH monitor checks that the service answers on its port, from outside, on a schedule, so a lockout is discovered on your terms.
Every check is stored in a full log, so you can see exactly when and how something changed.
Confirms the SSH daemon accepts connections.
Works with non-standard SSH ports.
Detect access problems limited to certain networks.
See when access was lost and restored.
From sign-up to your first alert in a few minutes.
Use the address administrators connect to.
Choose where the checks originate.
Notify the on-call channel.
Sensible defaults get you started; every option below can be tuned per monitor.
| Setting | What it does |

Keep jump servers reachable.
Detect accidental daemon or firewall changes.
Watch systems used by CI/CD over SSH.
A closed port you did not close is worth knowing about.
Create as many notification methods as you like, even on the free plan.
No. It verifies that the SSH service answers; it does not authenticate or run commands.
That is your call; the monitor works on any port you specify.
No, it monitors availability. Use server-side tools such as fail2ban for login analysis.
