The Ping-Free Monitoring upgrade allows you to monitor an unlimited number of ping-only devices without those devices counting towards your licensed node total.

This makes it ideal for monitoring routers, gateways, firewalls, external services and other endpoints where availability is the primary requirement. By exempting ping-only devices from licence usage, you can free up existing node licences for devices that require full performance monitoring.

Ping-only nodes can also be used for IP-level service availability checks, providing a simple and efficient way to monitor reachability across your estate.
