Uptime and latency telemetry,
without the dashboard tax.
Northgate collects probe results from your own hosts, keeps 13 months of history and gets out of the way. No agents to babysit, no per-seat pricing, no vendor lock on your metrics.
Single binary collector
One static binary, one YAML file. Pushes over HTTPS, buffers to disk when the uplink is down.
Plain storage format
Samples land as Parquet in a bucket you own. Query them with anything that reads columnar files.
Alerts that stay quiet
Flap suppression and maintenance windows are defaults, not add-ons you configure after the first bad night.
What it measures
| Probe | Interval | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| ICMP round-trip | 10 s | 13 months |
| TCP connect | 30 s | 13 months |
| HTTP(S) response + TLS expiry | 60 s | 13 months |
| DNS resolution | 60 s | 6 months |
Getting started
curl -fsSL https://gate.zodicast.com/install.sh | sh northgate-collector --config /etc/northgate/collector.yaml --check systemctl enable --now northgate-collector
Configuration lives in /etc/northgate/collector.yaml. The collector exposes its own health endpoint on 127.0.0.1:9414 and never listens on a public interface.
