Current version 1.0.0

Currently the dpos-monitor can monitor nodes for the platforms listed in default_configs. It can:

• Ping your nodes from remote servers.
• Check if the block heights of your nodes are correct.
• Check if the versions of your nodes are up to date.
• Send Telegram messages when something is wrong with a node.

Block height and versions checks can also be used to check if your node is still running.

sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install requests

When you get errors about an incorrect locale, it can help to use the following commands

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Clone the git

git clone https://github.com/dutchpool/dpos-monitor.git

Copy the config from the default_configs directory:

cd dpos-monitor
cp default_configs/config.json config.json

• Change settings inside config.json to match your needs.
• config.json will be loaded by default, but with the parameter -c you could load another config file.
• For more information about the config please check Configuration description

Add the ip-addresses of the servers running dpos-monitor to the config.json of the nodes to monitor.

Dpos-monitor comes with Telegram functionality which will allow dpos-monitor to send you a message if anything requires your attention. It's very easy to set up:

• Open Telegram and start a conversation with: userinfobot
• Put your ID inside config variable "chat_id".

"chat_id": "12345678"

• Start a conversation with: botfather
• Say: /newbot
• Tell botfather your bot's name
• Tell botfather your bot's username
• Botfather will say "Congratulations!" and give you a token
• Put your token inside config variable "bot_key".

"bot_key": "1122334455:AAEhBOweik6ad9r_QXMENQjcrGbqCr4K-bs"

• Edit the telegram toggle "use_telegram" (true/false)
• Start a conversation with your bot (username) to enable communication between you two
