Facts read from this source
-
Private location definition Report an error
“A private location is a monitoring probe you run on your own infrastructure. Instead of openstatus checking your endpoint from one of its public regions, a container you control performs the check and reports the result back over an outbound connection.”
-
Private location use cases Report an error
“Internal APIs and services behind a corporate firewall or VPC. Databases, message brokers, or other backing services that don't expose a public port. Services in a region openstatus doesn't offer a public probe in.”
-
Private location container image Report an error
“You deploy the openstatus probe container — typically ghcr.io/openstatushq/private-location:latest — somewhere inside the network that needs to be monitored.”
-
Private location connection Report an error
“you only need outbound network access from the probe to the openstatus ingest endpoint, openstatus-private-location.fly.dev, on port 443. No inbound firewall rules, no exposed ports, no reverse tunnel”
-
Private location auth Report an error
“The probe opens an outbound, authenticated connection to the openstatus platform using the token issued when you created the location.”
-
Private location self host ingest URL Report an error
“If you self-host openstatus, point the probe at your own ingest server with the OPENSTATUS_INGEST_URL environment variable”
-
Private location cost model Report an error
“Cost model Included with monitor checks You pay for the host/container”
-
Private location incidents alerts Report an error
“Auto-incident & alerts Yes Yes”
-
Private location status pages Report an error
“Use on public status pages Yes Yes”
-
Hybrid monitor locations Report an error
“A monitor can be assigned to public locations, private locations, or both.”
-
Private location egress dependency Report an error
“an egress firewall that blocks openstatus-private-location.fly.dev:443 will silently stop the probe from running checks. The probe will appear "connected" briefly and then go quiet.”
-
Private location cloudflare containers Report an error
“Deploy a private probe on Cloudflare Containers — a serverless deployment pattern instead of a long-running container.”
-
Private location guide Report an error
“Set up a private location — step-by-step deployment of the Docker probe.”
