Title: Bitnomon: monitoring/visualization GUI for a Bitcoin node
Post by: welshjf on February 03, 2015, 03:34:36 AM
Do you run a full node? Ever wondered what was going on inside it, beyond the basics in the debug window? Maybe something to display full screen and watch the blockchain go by?

Announcing Bitnomon: an open-source, cross-platform*, graphical monitoring application for Bitcoin nodes.

  • Home page (https://www.welshcomputing.com/code/bitnomon.html)
  • On PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitnomon)
  • On GitHub (https://github.com/welshjf/bitnomon)

Technical support or other questions/comments are welcome here or privately.

* The current release targets Linux/Unix. The underlying technologies should support Windows and Mac, but easy installation options are not yet available. This is planned, assuming there's interest.

Nice, but I need a web based script instead, preferably in PHP. Anyone have such a script?

What sort of information are you interested in displaying? One idea I had for Bitnomon was to give it a background mode where it just collects data over time, for something else to display. It's already storing traffic data in an RRDtool database, so putting those graphs on a web page would be pretty easy.

I've released a new version 0.1.1. No major changes but performs better under a large transaction backlog (by limiting the mempool scatter plot to 5000 points).

This is a great open source tool, please make the version for Windows and Mac, as you know we are the majority.
