RMON performs a ping check by sending ICMP packets to a specified host. The size of these packets is determined by the value specified in the "Packet size" field. The primary purpose of this operation is to assess whether the host is reachable and to measure the round-trip time for the packets to travel to the host and back.

If the host does not receive the packets within a specified timeout period, RMON sends a warning message. The absence of a response can indicate potential issues such as network congestion, misconfigured devices, or even a complete outage of the target host.

The check can be created for several countries, regions, or agents at once. To do this, select the desired category in the "Place" field and click + next to the countries/regions/agents for which you want to add the check.

RMON also allows users to configure notifications for alerts about any issues related to Ping checks by selecting from various channels, including Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty, and/or Mattermost, when adding a new check.
