How Ping Monitoring Status Handling Works

When Ping monitoring checks a target, the system compares the new status with the most recent one. If the status has changed (for example, from Up to Down or from Down to Up), the system processes the result fully. This includes updating records, sending notifications, and managing incidents. If the status remains the same (for example, Up to Up or Down to Down), the system stops early without further processing. This prevents duplicate alerts and avoids unnecessary incident creation. This behavior differs from other inbound integrations, which create a new incident whenever an alert is received if there is no open incident yet. Ping monitoring is designed to reduce noise by only acting when a real status change occurs.
If you close an incident manually and the status has not changed, the system will not create a new incident for the same issue. This helps you stay focused on real changes, reduces unnecessary noise, and keeps incident management cleaner.
