netmon

blockchain network monitor

#Quick Start

To get started, install golang and set your $GOPATH.

Install tendermint, tmsp, and the netmon:

go get github.com/tendermint/tendermint/cmd/tendermint
go get github.com/tendermint/tmsp/cmd/...
go get github.com/tendermint/netmon

Initialize and start a local tendermint node with

tendermint init
dummy &
tendermint node --fast_sync=false --log_level=debug

In another window, start the netmon with

netmon monitor $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/netmon/local-chain.json

Then visit your browser at http://localhost:46670.

The chain's rpc can be found at http://localhost:46657.

Notes

The netmon expects a config file with a list of chains/validators to get started. A default one for a local chain is provided as local-chain.json. netmon config can be used to create a config file for a chain deployed with mintnet. Configs are also generated by mintnet.

The API is available as GET requests with URI encoded parameters, or as JSONRPC POST requests. The JSONRPC methods are also exposed over websocket.

TODO

• log metrics for charts
• mintnet rpc commands
• chain size
• val set changes
• more efficient locking / refactor for a big select loop
