Manual latency testing is inefficient and fragmented
Monitoring network performance worldwide is a challenge. Manual tests are sporadic, non-repeatable, and disconnected from alerting tools. The result: poor visibility into real service quality.
Main negative impacts:
Lack of global vision
Testing from a single location fails to reflect the experience of your globally distributed users.
Delayed incident detection
Without automation, network degradations are often reported by customers before your teams even notice.
Data silos
Test results remain stuck in technical reports without being correlated with operational alerts.
Swiftask automates Globalping test execution at regular intervals. Data flows instantly into your management tools for immediate action.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Traditional monitoring
An engineer manually runs ping tests from a few nodes. They compile results in a spreadsheet. If an anomaly occurs, the reaction time is too slow.
The Swiftask + Globalping approach
Automated tests run continuously from hundreds of Globalping nodes. Swiftask analyzes results and notifies your team only if thresholds are breached.
Deploy your network tests in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Define test parameters
Set targets, frequencies, and geographic test zones in Swiftask via Globalping.
2
STEP 2 : Connect Globalping
Link your Globalping account to Swiftask to authorize automated network probe execution.
3
STEP 3 : Set performance thresholds
Configure acceptable latency levels. Swiftask monitors deviations from these standards.
4
STEP 4 : Activate alerts
Choose your notification channels (Teams, Slack, Email) to be warned instantly of anomalies.
Advanced network analysis capabilities
The agent analyzes average latency, jitter, and packet loss by geographic region to pinpoint critical zones.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in globalping based on event context.
- Automated actions: Run pings, traceroutes, and DNS tests. Aggregate data on Swiftask. Intelligent alerting based on dynamic thresholds.
- Native governance: All test data is stored for historical analysis and performance reporting.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-globalping@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
