Cloud-based ping tools reach the public internet. Full stop. CuliPulse lets you run an agent on your own network so you can ping any host that lives there — routers, switches, internal servers, database hosts — with no public exposure required. And instead of one RTT number, you get packet loss, min/avg/max, and jitter, so you know the real story.
A single average RTT hides a lot. A host that responds in 18 ms on average might be dropping 20% of packets and spiking to 90 ms on bad runs. CuliPulse surfaces the full picture every check cycle so you can see degradation before users feel it.
A host that's dropping 30% of packets or spiking to 200 ms is not "up" in any meaningful sense. CuliPulse can treat that as a degraded state and alert you immediately — so you're investigating while users are only slightly affected, not scrambling after the fact.
Set a maximum acceptable packet loss percentage. Cross it and the monitor goes degraded — a yellow alert, not red, so you can triage before it's critical.
Set a max average round-trip time. When latency climbs past your threshold the monitor flags degraded so you know something is wrong on the path.
Erratic round-trip times — high jitter — are a sign of an unstable path even when the average looks fine. Set a jitter limit and catch it early.
Every cloud-based ping monitor pings from the public internet. That's fine for a public website — useless for the router in your rack, the database host that never has a public IP, or the internal server your team actually depends on. CuliPulse lets you run a small agent on any network. That agent pings from inside, so you watch what your users actually experience.
Install CuliPulse's lightweight agent on any machine that can reach your hosts. It runs the ping checks from there, reports results back, and needs no inbound firewall rules — just outbound HTTPS.
Private hosts stay private. The agent initiates all traffic outbound. There's no need to open ports, poke holes in your firewall, or expose anything to the public internet.
Add more than one checkpoint — a mix of CuliPulse's network and agents on your own infrastructure — and we wait for several of them to agree before calling something down. A single ICMP timeout on one path won't wake you up at 3 am.
Add a ping monitor, point it at any host your agent can reach, set your loss and latency thresholds, and get alerts you can trust — even for hosts that never touch the public internet.
