Canonical Telemetry
Relay Protocol.

Every collector normalizes data to CTRP v1.0 before relay. Outbound-only, cryptographically signed, designed for zero-trust environments.

shield
mTLS Encryption

All relay traffic is encrypted with mutual TLS. Both appliance and relay authenticate each other before any data flows.

fingerprint
Ed25519 Signatures

Every telemetry envelope is cryptographically signed at the edge. Tampering is detectable at any point in the pipeline.

arrow_forward
Outbound-Only

No inbound ports, no listening services. The appliance initiates all connections outbound to your self-hosted Relay.

save
Store-and-Forward

Data is buffered to local SSD. If the relay is unreachable, the appliance queues and retries automatically — no data loss.

compress
Batch Compression

Telemetry is batched and compressed before relay for efficient bandwidth usage across WAN and low-bandwidth links.

public_off
Air-Gappable

No traffic to RelayForge infrastructure. Every component — appliance, relay, dashboard — runs entirely within your environment.

apiControl Plane Surface

9 dashboards. One self-hosted API.

The Control Plane ships every operational view — voice, SBC, network, drift, events, and admin — backed by a stable HTTP API. All of it runs inside your network. None of it phones home.
