Network Status Monitoring

Ethereum (centralised) network status monitor (sometimes referred to as "Eth-netstats") is a network-based application that monitors the health of testnet/mainnet through a set of nodes. Checklist

To list your nodes, you must install the client information relay, a node module. The instructions given here work on Ubuntu (Mac OS x follows the same instructions, but sudo may not be necessary). Other platforms are also different (make sure that nodejs-legacy is also installed, otherwise some modules may fail).

Clone the Git repository and install PM2:

git clone https://github.com/cubedro/eth-net-intelligence-api
CD eth-net-intelligence-api
npm install
sudo npm install-g pm2

Then edit the App.json file to configure it for your node: Change the permissions on the Listening_port ethereum listening port (default: 30303) change instance_name you want to name your node right, contact_ Details if you would like to share your contact information, please change the value to the right of the RPC port of the Rpc_port your node (the default is 8545 for CPP and go); and change the Ws_secret password right (you will have to go from the official Skype channel).

Finally run the process:

PM2 Start App.json

Several commands are available: PM2 list shows the status of the process; PM2 logs display log; PM2 gracefulreload Node-app for soft re-loading; PM2 Stop Node-app stops the application; PM2 kill kill Daemon update

In order to update you must do the following: Git pull latest version sudo npm update dependency PM2 gracefulreload node-app Reload client automatically installed on new Ubuntu installation

Get and run the build shell. This will install everything you need: The latest Ethereum-development branch of the CLI (you can choose ETH or Geth), NODE.JS,NPM and PM2.

Bash < (Curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cubedro/eth-net-intelligence-api/master/bin/build.sh)

Configuration

Configure the application to modify Processes.json. Note that you must modify the backup Processes.json file that is located in./bin/processes.json (to allow you to set your environment variables when the update is not changed).

"env":
    {
        "node_env"        : "Production",//Tell the client we ' re in production environment
        "Rpc_host"        : "localhost",//ETH JSON-RPC host the default is 8545
        "Rpc_port"        : "8545",//ETH json-rpc PORT
        "Listening_por T "  :" 30303 ",//ETH listening port (only used for display)
        " instance_name "   :" ",//whatever you wish to Nam E your node
        "contact_details": "",//Add your contact DETAILS here if you wish (Email/skype)
        "Ws_server"       : "Wss://stats.ethdev.com",//path to Eth-netstats WebSockets API server
        "Ws_secret"       : "",//WebSockets API SE RVer Secret used for login
    }

Run

Run it with PM2:

CD ~/bin
pm2 start Processes.json

Ethereum (ETH or Geth) must be running with RPC enabled.

Geth--RPC

The default port under Geth (if not specified) is the 8545 update

To update your API client, use the following command:

~/bin/www/bin/update.sh

It will stop the current netstats client process, automatically detect your Ethereum implementation and version, update it to the latest development version, update the Netstats client, and reload the process.
