Hi @ACASA_TV ! Welcome to the Netdata community.

What exactly do you want to check? That the system the Netdata agent is running is connected to the internet?

Howdy!

I think the fping collector is maybe what you need here.

> **[fping.plugin | Learn Netdata](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/fping.plugin)**
>
> The fping plugin supports monitoring latency, packet loss and uptime of any number of network end points,

Once enabled and configured it will have these alarms

[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/health/health.d/fping.conf](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/health/health.d/fping.conf)

And so I think the fping\_host\_reachable alarm template would be the out it the box alert which you could edit a bit if you wanted bit probably fine as is to start with.
