# Northflank

> Bring Northflank platform cost into CostGraph, pulled by us or pushed by you

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

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="CostGraph pulls it" icon="cloud-arrow-down">
    You supply read-only credentials and we call Northflank once a day. Nothing to run.
  </Card>

  <Card title="You push it" icon="cloud-arrow-up">
    You send us FOCUS records over the API. Credentials never leave your infrastructure.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## Push it yourself

Send the charges to CostGraph as FOCUS records instead. [Push FOCUS data](/costgraph/integrations/focus-push) 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.

```bash theme={null}
focus-exporter --provider northflank --sink costgraph
```

Your Northflank credential stays where you put it, and only the finished FOCUS records
reach CostGraph. [Run the exporter](/costgraph/integrations/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.
