LAN Collector Monitoring for Private-Network TLS Visibility

Use Case

Add internal visibility only where you need it with Certhelm LAN collectors.

LAN collectors let Certhelm observe internal services from inside your network boundary so teams can monitor private websites, APIs, VPN gateways, and internal certificate endpoints without exposing them to the public internet.

See Collector Paths Internal SSL Monitoring

Start with public monitoring and add internal coverage only when required
Observe internal services from the right network segment
Keep collector-backed checks in the same product workflow as cloud checks
Scale collector coverage by plan and monitored operational footprint

Collector coverage

Branch West Collector online 7 internal endpoints observed

DC South 1 action Private API cert expiring in 14 days

When To Use Collectors

Collectors matter when the monitor must stand inside your environment to see the truth.

Private APIs and internal websites behind VPN or private DNS
Branch and datacenter services that require in-network perspective
Internal certificate endpoints where public internet checks are meaningless
Teams that need a customer-owned way to extend visibility without replacing workflows

Why Certhelm Fits

Collectors are part of the operating model, not a separate product island.

Plan design makes it possible to start with one collector and grow from there
Collector-backed observations feed the same Status, Assets, and Reports surfaces
Alerting and ownership remain customer-scoped even as private coverage expands
Teams keep one place for reachability, certificate health, and workflow state

Collector path

Start with the minimum internal visibility you need instead of forcing a heavy rollout.

Same

Workflow surface

Collector-backed checks feed the same workspace as public monitoring and certificate operations.

Network truth

Observe the service from the place where users and internal systems actually reach it.

Next Step

Choose a plan that matches your internal coverage pattern.

Some teams need a single inside-the-network perspective. Others need collector capacity across multiple branches or datacenters. Certhelm pricing grows along that path instead of forcing enterprise-only entry.
