Frequently asked questions

Is it self-hosted?
Yes. You run it on your own machines against your own PostgreSQL, and it is white-label throughout — your customers see your name on the status page, not ours.
What does the agent need?
Outbound reach to your install. It does **not** need an inbound port opened to it, which is the usual objection and a fair one. It runs on Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, Alpine and Windows.
Why does the status page run separately?
Because it exists to be readable during an outage. If it shared a host or a database with on-call, the incident that took on-call down would take the page down with it — exactly when people are loading it. On-call pushes HMAC-signed events to the status app, which applies them to its own store and regenerates a static snapshot. An audience arriving all at once reads a file, not a render.
Do I have to run the status page?
No, but it is the part customers actually see, and running it apart is the whole reason it stays up during the incident it is reporting. It is a second small deploy, not a second product, and it is included.
Can it monitor things that are not mine?
The outside probes can watch any endpoint — HTTP, TCP, ICMP, SSL expiry or DNS — from more than one region. The agent is for machines you run.
How are CVE findings different from a generic vulnerability feed?
They are matched against the packages each host **actually has installed, at the version it actually has**. A finding is about your machine rather than about software you do not run — which is the difference between a report you act on and one you learn to ignore.
What does "proof, not assumptions" mean in practice?
Backups are replayed by **restore drills** on a schedule and the count is recorded, so you can answer "when did you last test that?" with a date. Compliance scores are derived from what the fleet is observed doing, and signed — not from a spreadsheet filled in before an audit.
How is it priced?
Per device, with the status page included rather than sold separately.
What happens when my licence expires?
It keeps running and keeps watching. You stop receiving updates, and the admin says so plainly rather than degrading quietly.
