This is a Chia monitoring solution for people who need to run multiple harvesters on different hosts. It is based on Grafana (Data Visualization), Prometheus (Data Persistence & Query), and Mtail (Data Collector, binary file included).
Check the following screenshot. It provides many useful numbers, and you can set your plot size (K32
by default) and Netspace Unit (It is increasing so fast!)
In short, you need to install Grafana & Prometheus on your full node farmer host and install/copy mtail on all the hosts running harvesters.
This tutorial will not include how to install Grafana & Prometheus, Google is your friend. One tip is to make sure your port 3000 (Grafana), 9090 (Prometheus), and 3903 (Mtail) can be accessed by others.
After you installed Grafana & Prometheus, modify prometheus.yml
in the package. Replace the harvester host ip by yours.
Copy prometheus.yml
to your Prometheus path and run Grafana & Prometheus.
Check out the repo on your hosts and run ./run_mtail.sh
. That's it.
Note: if your Chia is not install in ~/
(home directory) you need to modify run_mtail.sh
with your Chia install path. Make sure all the run_mtail.sh and mtail have execution permission (use chmod command). The mtail version has to be 3.0.0 rc45.
I made both English (grafana_dashboard_en.json
) and Chinese (grafana_dashboard_zh.json
) versions of the dashboard. You can import them in Grafana.
To open Grafana, use a browser to access your farmer host, e.g. 192.168.0.1:3000
.
After a simple setup you should be able to add data source and import JSON dashboard. It's very straightforward, here are some screenshots.
You are all set! Enjoy and give a star if you like this!
