/chia-monitor

🍃 A comprehensive monitoring and alerting solution for the status of your Chia farmer and harvesters.

chia-monitor discord

A monitoring tool to collect all important metrics from your Chia farming node and connected harvesters.

These metrics are collected from the Chia daemon via RPC and WebSocket interfaces and can also be used to send you push notifications with regular status updates, alert you if something goes wrong, a proof is found, or you receive payments to your farmer wallet.

All metrics are exported to a Prometheus compatible /metrics endpoint and a Grafana dashboard is also provided:

grafana

This example dashboard displays almost all collected metrics and can be imported from grafana.com using the ID 14544 or using the grafana/dashboard.json from this repository.

Notifications

To use notifications, please configure a status_service_url and alert_service_url for your desired notification service in the config.json. You can use most popular notifications services by creating a service specific webhook URL, following the instructions from this wiki. If you wish to disable notifications entirely, you can set the enable flag in the notifications section of the config.json to false.

Following notifications are currently sent to the status_service_url:

Farm summary (configurable interval in config.json)

** 👨‍🌾 Farm Status 👩‍🌾 **
🌾 OG Plot Count: 3797
🌾 Portable Plot Count: 50
🧺 OG Plot Size: 375.828 TiB
🧺 Portable Plot Size: 4.948 TiB
🚜 Plot Change 24h: +86 (+8.511 TiB)
⌛️ Signage Points Per Minute: 6.30
🔎 Passed Filters Per Minute: 49.30
✅ Total Proofs found: 73
💰 Total Balance: 2.00001 XCH
🕰️ Time To Win: 2 weeks and 4 days
💾 Current Netspace: 30.706 EiB
🏔️ Peak Height: 544594
🧮 Mempool Size: 15

Proof found alert

Triggers when a new partial or full proof is found. To limit the amount of notifications when pooling, this can be disabled in the config using the disable_proof_found_alert setting.

** 🤑 Proof found! 🤑 **
Your farm found a new partial or full proof

Following notifications are currently sent to the alert_service_url:

Sync lost alert

** 🚨 Farmer Lost Sync! 🚨 **
It seems like your farmer lost its connection to the Chia Network

Sync recovery alert

** ✅ Farmer Synced! ✅ **
Your farmer is successfully synced to the Chia Network again

Plots lost alert

Triggers when the total plot count of your farm drops below a configurable threshold (default: 1).

The corresponding lost_plots_alert_threshold parameter can be adjusted in the config.json.

** 🚨 Farmer Lost Plots! 🚨 **
It seems like your farmer lost some plots
Expected: 130, Found: 124

Plots recovery alert

** ✅ Farmer Plots recoverd! ✅ **
Your farmer's plot count has recovered to its previous value

Payment alert

** 🤑 Payment received! 🤑 **
Your wallet received a new payment
