Introduction

We're feeling excited to release this Validator Monitoring and Alerting tool prototype to the community.

Chainflow would like to express our gratitude to our development partner Vitwit. We partnered with them a few months ago and have been working together with @anilCSE and his team since then to develop and release this.

Thanks also to @mnugumanova from Ztake and @EdouardLvdl from POS Bakerz for providing preliminary feedback.

The Tool - Monitoring

You'll see that the tool is comprised of three Grafana dashboards.

1 - Summary

This view provides a quick-look at overall validator and system health.

2 - Validator Monitoring Metrics

This view provides a comprehensive look at validator details and performance. It also includes proposal information.

3 - System Monitoring Metrics
