Monitor private services without publishing them to the internet

Private-network monitoring is available to Team and Enterprise beta customers through a support-assisted relay that runs HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, Ping, and DNS checks and communicates outbound over HTTPS. Fresh self-serve relay onboarding is not currently presented as working.

The actual product boundary

The control plane works; onboarding needs repair

StackEye dispatches private-region work and accepts results from existing configured relays. The current fresh-install path has not passed an end-to-end check and is not promised here. Strict site affinity is not promised during beta: if a configured region has no active bound relay, current assignment logic can use another active private relay in the same organization.

01 / CREATE

Create a private location

Create an organization-owned private region for the monitor configuration. Private-region management is currently available on Team and Enterprise; multi-site execution routing should be confirmed with support.

02 / CONNECT

Use a support-assisted beta relay

The polling relay fetches work and submits results over outbound HTTPS, then initiates each authorized check from inside the customer network. Fresh self-serve packaging is currently blocked.

03 / ASSIGN

Choose “Internal network”

Create a monitor, choose the internal source, select the private location, and configure the private target and assertion.

Release and install status

Do not copy a stale one-liner

The private-check engine and control plane are implemented, but current self-serve installation surfaces do not reproduce a verified new relay deployment.

  • Support-configured polling relays can execute private checks.
  • The current relay wizard references installer/image paths that are no longer a verified pair.
  • The latest published Station release does not include the scoped private-IP executor fix.

Marketing will call the path self-serve only after a fresh Team/Enterprise enrollment reaches an RFC1918 target and returns a result in production.

Private check types

Active checks, not just a heartbeat

A support-configured polling relay receives a target and test definition, performs that check from its location, and sends the measured result back.

HTTP / HTTPS

Request an internal URL and verify status, content, or other configured assertions.

TCP

Confirm that a private host and port accept a connection.

ICMP PING

Test network reachability from the relay’s location.

DNS RESOLVE

Resolve names that may exist only in internal DNS.

SMTP monitoring is supported for public checks, but it is intentionally not a private-region check type.

A separate shipped capability

Station monitors Linux host health

The published Station artifact reports Linux host resources and is managed as a fleet. It is not presented here as the active private-check runner.

  • Per-core CPU and physical-memory/swap usage
  • Filesystem usage and disk I/O measurements
  • Network traffic, packets, errors, and throughput
  • Station identity, capability, version, status, and lifecycle controls

Kubernetes scope

Host deployment target today; cluster intelligence still in validation

This distinction matters when a platform engineer asks whether StackEye can find a crash-looping pod behind a green frontend.

  • Production-safe claim: deploy Station as a DaemonSet to collect supported Linux node-host signals.
  • Development capability: a separate read-only cluster controller, object inventory, endpoint candidates, and probe-to-pod topology UI exist in development.
  • Current availability limit: the production frontend does not yet expose the self-serve Clusters route, and the development enrollment UI is not a complete ready-to-apply install flow.
  • Therefore: StackEye does not market Kubernetes object/workload awareness as generally available today.

Private monitoring FAQ

Operational details

Does a support-assisted private relay require inbound access?

No. The relay connects outward to the StackEye control plane for work and result submission. You do not expose the private targets or open an inbound control-plane port.

Can a private relay test any private IP?

It executes targets configured for its organization-owned private region. Access is support-assisted for Team and Enterprise beta customers. This page does not claim that the currently published Station artifact performs that job.

Is private monitoring included on every plan?

No. Private monitoring is support-assisted for Team and Enterprise beta customers. Fresh self-serve relay onboarding still needs repair; Station host monitoring is a separate capability with no published per-plan Station-seat limit.

Is StackEye self-hosted?

Station and private relays run in customer environments; the StackEye control plane is hosted. We do not use an installed component to imply that the complete monitoring platform is self-hosted.
