Types
UDP
Monitor UDP endpoint reachability for connectionless service responsiveness.
UDP monitors attempt to reach a UDP endpoint. Because UDP is connectionless, the monitor logic typically sends a lightweight packet and waits for a response or timeout. If no expected signal is received within the configured timeout, it is marked unreachable.
Use Cases
- Game or streaming service endpoints
- Custom UDP microservices
Limitations
Reliability of UDP health probing depends on server behavior. Some servers do not echo or respond to unsolicited packets—validate that your target supports a probe pattern.
