Auvik’s Cloud Ping Check feature via FQDN offers users a more comprehensive way to monitor various critical components of your IT infrastructure. Utilizing this feature, users can input a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or domain name to monitor various types of IT assets like SaaS applications and cloud services, as well as other essential assets accessible via the public internet. Monitored directly from Auvik’s robust cloud infrastructure, this tool ensures consistent monitoring of these assets, provided they are resolvable through public DNS, keeping you informed about the health and performance of your entire IT ecosystem.
