Overview
Effective monitoring is essential for maintaining a healthy validator node. This guide covers the metrics, tools, and practices for monitoring your ComputeNet validator.
Planned Documentation
Detailed monitoring documentation will be available when validator tooling is finalized. The information below outlines the planned approach.
Key Metrics
Validators should monitor the following categories of metrics:
Node Health
- Sync status and block height
- Peer connections and network health
- Memory and CPU utilization
- Disk I/O and storage capacity
Validator Performance
- Jobs executed per epoch
- Proof generation latency
- Attestation inclusion rate
- Missed attestation count
Economic Metrics
- Rewards earned
- Slashing events
- Stake balance
Monitoring Stack
The recommended monitoring stack will include:
- Prometheus — Metrics collection and storage
- Grafana — Visualization and dashboards
- Alertmanager — Alert routing and notifications
Alerts
Critical alerts to configure:
- Node falling out of sync
- High missed attestation rate
- Resource exhaustion warnings
- Network connectivity issues
- Slashing conditions detected
Dashboards
Pre-built Grafana dashboards will be provided for:
- Node overview and health
- Validator performance
- Network statistics
- Economic metrics
