Abstract

Provide a brief description of your project here summarising key points (1-2 paragraphs).

Prometheus exporter that scrapes downtime and meta information for a specified remote or local CCD Node. All data is collected from a blockchain node via gRPC requests. CCD Nodes do not export these metrics by default. We will open source this monitoring solution and make it for every node operator available. We want to develop such tool, since we operate nodes ourself and require a monitoring solution.
