01 / THE PROBLEM
Visibility where the Internet can't see.
Important infrastructure often lives inside private networks, security zones and VRFs that conventional Internet-facing monitoring cannot directly reach.
Argus is being engineered around that reality: put lightweight monitoring close to the systems, then bring the resulting visibility together centrally.
02 / SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Local Eyes. Central perspective.
Argus Watchtower
The central Argus component for consolidated visibility, historical information, alerting and the evolving WatchTower View.
03 / DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Distributed
Place monitoring within the environment instead of forcing visibility across security boundaries.
Outbound-oriented
Eyes report outward rather than becoming bridges between otherwise separated zones or VRFs.
Modular
Add monitors to an existing Eye or deploy additional Eyes as the environment grows.
Operational
Designed for useful infrastructure visibility without requiring an elaborate monitoring appliance at every location.
04 / DEVELOPMENT STATE
Built in the real world.
Working now: the Argus Eye architecture is operational on headless Linux hardware and the distributed multi-probe model is established.
In development: Watchtower centralization, additional notification methods, repeatable Eye/monitor onboarding, recommended hardware standards and WatchTower View.
Argus identity / Eye + Watchtower
One platform.
Two perspectives.
The Eye stays close to the systems it observes. Watchtower turns distributed observations into central visibility.
