Monitoring your node

[refaktr]

I'm interested to learn what tools or processes other node operators use to monitor the general health of your node. What do you use to check how well it's running?

Obviously there's the standard infra metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network) that can become overloaded and cause issues or failures. What about node-specific metrics are of most interest to you? Clock drift, block number, services statuses?

I put together a simple web app to help check the status of a public node: https://refaktr.io/nodewatch

The whole point of running a daemon is that I don't have to monitor all of them all the time My Bitcoin Core is doing just fine for many years now.

For network, you can set an upload target (read: maximum). There's not really a reason for the rest to suddenly be overloaded, it's not as if Bitcoin is suddenly going to produce much more blocks to verify.

I only use basic monitor tool for the whole system. But if i ever want to monitor both my system and node in detail, i probably would use https://github.com/jlopp/statoshi.
