How It Works

Automatic Network Traceroute Execution

Our monitoring agents run a network traceroute at scheduled intervals to track routing performance. Additionally, when a network error is detected, a traceroute is triggered to provide real-time diagnostic data for troubleshooting. This ensures you always have relevant network path insights at your fingertips.

  • 30-hop visualization of network routes.
  • Color-coded performance indicators (green for normal, yellow for packet loss, red for failed hops).
  • Detailed node information, including hostname, IP, min/max/average response times, and errors.

Visual Traceroute: Gain Clear Network Insights

Traditional traceroutes provide raw data, but Dotcom-Monitor’s Visual Traceroute enhances troubleshooting with graphical representations of network paths.

  • Map View: Understand packet flow and pinpoint trouble spots geographically.
  • Historical Data: Compare past traceroutes to identify ongoing and historical routing issues.
  • Customizable Monitoring Locations: Test connectivity from different regions to see how users reach your network and services globally.
