SSH Monitoring

SSH monitoring performs a real handshake against your SSH endpoint — verifying the service answers, measuring connect time, and catching exposure where you expect it closed.

The door you actually need to reach — or to prove is locked

What it checks

  • SSH protocol handshake and banner
  • Connect latency to port 22 (or your custom port)
  • Unexpected exposure on hosts that should be closed

Set it up

  1. 1Add an SSH monitor per host and port
  2. 2Use allowlisted probe IPs to keep the service firewalled
  3. 3Alert on failure — or on unexpected success

FAQ

Does the check authenticate?

It performs the protocol handshake without logging in — the service-level signal, not a credential test. For login event detection, the internal agent watches auth.log on the host itself.
