Northflank is a platform for running services, jobs, and GPU workloads, either on its own cloud or on clusters in your own cloud account. It bills CPU, memory, storage, GPU, and network separately, and charges a cluster fee on your own clusters. CostGraph reads Northflank as FOCUS 1.2 records at a grain of one record per cost component per day.

​
Choose how the data reaches us

CostGraph pulls it

You supply read-only credentials and we call Northflank once a day. Nothing to run.

You push it

You send us FOCUS records over the API. Credentials never leave your infrastructure.

​
Before you begin

  • In your Northflank team, open the API settings and create an API token with the Organisation > Admin > Billing > Read permission.

​
Let CostGraph pull

  1. Open Settings > Integrations and pick Northflank.
  2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
  3. Enter the values you copied. The form lists what Northflank needs and marks the optional ones.
  4. Select Connect.
CostGraph verifies the credentials with a short fetch before saving, so a wrong value or a missing permission fails while you are still on the form.
Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only to read billing data. Revoke them in Northflank at any time and the connection stops; nothing else is affected.

​
Push it yourself

Send the charges to CostGraph as FOCUS records instead. Push FOCUS data covers the connection id, the focus:write key, and the request shape.

​
Run the exporter

Rather than build that request yourself, run our exporter. It reads Northflank on a schedule and pushes the records for you, wherever you want to run it: a container, a Kubernetes CronJob, or a binary on a machine you already have.
Your Northflank credential stays where you put it, and only the finished FOCUS records reach CostGraph. Run the exporter covers the three ways to run it and the variables it reads.

​
What CostGraph does with it

Records land as raw billing rows, are normalised into line items, and roll up into daily cost. From there Northflank spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly detection alongside every other provider. CPU, memory, GPU, and storage sit on separate lines, and build and run usage are kept apart, so you can see what a deployment costs to build and what it costs to keep running.
