What NGP-INFRA is
NGP-INFRA is an internal infrastructure monitoring platform built and operated
by our engineering team. It gives our staff one place to see the health of the systems we run:
infrastructure and application metrics, operational dashboards, and alerts for the services we
maintain.
NGP-INFRA is not a public or consumer product. There is no public sign-up. Access is limited to
our own employees and a small number of approved partners, and it is granted and revoked by our
administrators.
What you can do with NGP-INFRA
- View dashboards showing infrastructure and application metrics for our internal systems.
- Investigate performance and reliability issues across the services we operate.
- Receive and review operational alerts for those services.
Why NGP-INFRA uses Google Sign-In
NGP-INFRA has no password system of its own. Staff sign in with the Google account they already
use for work, via Google OAuth 2.0. This is the only purpose for which we use
Google: to authenticate the person signing in.
| Scope | What it gives us | Why NGP-INFRA needs it |
openid |
A stable identifier for your Google account |
To link your session to the correct NGP-INFRA user account |
userinfo.email |
Your email address |
To identify you, match you to your team, and grant the right level of access |
userinfo.profile |
Your name and profile picture |
To display who you are in the interface and in audit records |
We request no other scopes. NGP-INFRA has no access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Contacts,
or any other Google service data, and it never writes anything to your Google account.
Components of NGP-INFRA
Grafana — Metrics & Dashboards
The dashboard component of NGP-INFRA runs on Grafana. It visualises infrastructure and
application metrics collected from our internal systems, and it is where engineers view
dashboards and alerts after signing in with Google.
| Access | Private deployment for authorised users only; the address is shared internally. |
| Sign-in | Google OAuth 2.0, using the three scopes listed above. |
| Who can use it | Staff and approved partners of NGP-INFRA. |
