wget -O NodeistorExporter.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nodeist/Nodeistor/main/NodeistorExporter && chmod +x NodeistorExporter.sh && ./NodeistorExporter.sh
During the installation you will be asked for some information. These:
| KEY | VALUE |
|---|---|
| bond_denom | Denom Value. For example uclan for Clan |
| bench_prefix | Bench Prefix Value. For example clan for Clan. You can learn this value from your wallet address. Clanjcqum902je9zwevat7zqczskwd4lhwuj9vwgsu |
| grpc_port | Your validator grpc port that is defined in app.toml file. Default value is 31090 |
| rpc_port | Your validator rpc port that is defined in config.toml file. Default value is 31657 |
Make sure the following ports are open on your server:
9100(node-exporter)9300(cosmos-exporter)
We recommend installing the grafana monitor on a separate server so that you can track and analyze your authenticator properly. If your node stops, your server goes down etc. In such cases, you have the chance to follow the data. It does not require a huge system requirement. A system with the following specifications is sufficient for the monitor.
Ubuntu 20.04 / 1 VCPU / 2 GB RAM / 20 GB SSD
You can complete the monitor setup by typing the following code on your new server.
wget -O NodeistMonitor.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nodeist/Nodeistor/main/NodeistMonitor && chmod +x NodeistMonitor.sh && ./NodeistMonitor.sh
You can use the code below multiple times for different networks. In other words, you can view the statistics of more than one validator on the same monitor. In order to do this, write the following code by revising it for each network you want to add.
$HOME/Nodeistor/ag_ekle.sh VALIDATOR_IP WALLET_ADDRESS VALOPER_ADDRESS PROJECT_NAME
Begin monitor deployment.
cd $HOME/Nodeistor && docker compose up -d

Import the Nodeistor.
3.1. Press the + icon from the left menu and click Import from the pop-up window.
3.2. Type grafana.com Control panel ID 16580. And press Load.
3.3. Select prometheus as the data source and press import.
- Explorer configuration
Normally the most missed block panel is based on nodes.guru explorer.
If you want to add a network that is not in nodes.guru explorer, you need to edit the most missed block tab.
This process is only valid for the 'most missed block ' tab and is not essential.
Click on the tab title and press edit.
4.1. Go to the Overrides tab.
4.2. Press the edit button in the datalink section.
4.3 Update the Explorer address and press the Save button.
4.4. Finally, press the Save button again from the upper right corner and then apply by pressing the Apply button.
- Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Nodeistor.
The Grafana dashboard is divided into 4 sections:
- Validator health - main statistics for verifier health. connected peers and missed blocks
- Chain health - summary of chain health statistics and list of missing blocks of top validators
- Validator statistics - information about the validator such as rank, limited coins, commission, delegations and rewards
- Hardware health - system hardware metrics. cpu, ram, network usage
cd $HOME/Nodeistor
docker compose down
docker volume prune -f
