Documentation
Everything about NODE64 in one place: from the first connected device to the API. Written for people who run their own systems.
Getting started
Account, first device, first report.
- What NODE64 does An overview in five minutes – and what NODE64 deliberately does not do.
- Getting started From account to first report – in about ten minutes.
- Install the agent systemd, container, LXC, OpenWrt – every path, every architecture.
- Updating the agent How to bring the agent up to date – and why it does not do so by itself.
- Agent changelog What changed in the agent from version to version.
Fundamentals
What NODE64 collects, how it judges and what the numbers mean.
- What data is collected The complete list – and what NODE64 explicitly does not send.
- The dashboard Overview, devices, findings – what is where.
- Understanding the pulse What disk usage, inodes, swap, load and SMART mean – and when a number is worth worrying about.
- Understanding findings Types, ratings, lifecycle – and what you can do with a finding.
Modules
The individual areas: findings, alerts, integrity, measurement network.
- Fixing findings Solution paths, the fix script – and why NODE64 runs nothing itself.
- Integrity and changes When files change – and when the system shifts.
- Vulnerabilities and updates Where the CVE data comes from, how it is compared, where the limits are.
- Compliance and BSI IT-Grundschutz How NODE64 maps its checks to the requirements of BSI IT-Grundschutz and ISO 27001 – and where the limits are.
- Alerts When NODE64 gets in touch – by email, webhook or bell.
- Timbre – what is normal on your system How NODE64 compares your server with itself – and how to trigger an alert yourself, safely.
- Measurement network (Sonar) The outside view of your own infrastructure – voluntary, limited, logged.
- Setting up a measurement node One command and your machine measures along in the network — without giving away anything about itself.
- SNMP – devices without an agent Monitor a switch, NAS, UPS or printer without installing software on it.
- Location of a measurement node Why a node has to know where it stands – and the three ways to tell it.
- pfSense and OPNsense What NODE64 checks on a firewall – and what it explicitly does not.
- No measurement without evidence How the network comes to trust its own numbers – signature, plausibility, agreement.
- Does this work on my system? Four commands that trigger Timbre — harmless, undone in seconds, each hitting exactly one immediate indicator.
Administration
Team, security, plans and what happens to your data.
- Team and account security Sign-in, two-factor, invitations, API keys, audit log.
- Plans and limits What the free plan does, what a paid plan changes – and what is never locked away.
- Privacy in practice Where the data lives, for how long, and how to get rid of it.
Reference
API, troubleshooting, glossary.
- API Everything the dashboard shows, as JSON – with your own keys and permissions.
- Troubleshooting The most common cases – and how to narrow them down.
- Glossary Terms that have a specific meaning in NODE64.
