Free node telemetry service

Node telemetry

Once you setup your node to send telemetry to Nodely you will be able to monitor :

• Key metrics :
  • Health (overall node performance)
  • Voting performance
  • Network performance
  • Any time synchronization issues
• Telemetry events
  • HeartBeats with internal metrics
  • Warnings and Errors
• Leader boards :D

Caution

• Temporary dashboard is a WORK IN PROGRESS
• You have to input your node’s GUID manually in the “Node GUID field” and press enter

Quick Setup

Package manager / updater script

If your Linux/Mac node is installed with package manger or updater script just execute the following commands to make you node start sending telemetry to the service.

  # set telemetry endpoint to Nodely
  sudo diagcfg -d /var/lib/algorand telemetry endpoint -e https://tel.4160.nodely.io

  # anonymize node name in telemery (do not leak hostname)
  sudo diagcfg -d /var/lib/algorand telemetry name -n "anon"

  # Or you can make your name public by prefixing it with @
  # sudo diagcfg -d /var/lib/algorand telemetry name -n "@MyPublicNodeName"

  # enable telemetry
  sudo diagcfg -d /var/lib/algorand telemetry enable

  # restart your nodes
  sudo systemctl restart algorand

You might need to provide -d folder parameter where folder is the location of your node’s data folder.

• Note the random node id (GUID) returned by the first command
• Restart you node for settings to take effect.
• Go to the temporary dashboard and enter your node’s GUID to check out the stats
• You can also visit https://g.nodely.io/d/telemetry/?var-GUID=$nodeid (replacing $nodeid with your GUID) to go to your node’s stats directly.

Global telemetry dashboard

You can compare your node to others on the global dashboard https://g.nodely.io/d/telemetrymain
