Monitoring

After a successful setup of a node, next important step is to set up monitoring for the node. Monitoring is important to keep track of the node's health and performance.

Network Monitoring

All active validators for the testnet are listed on the IOTA Explorer website.

Node Metrics

IOTA node exposes a whole range of metrics to be scraped by the Prometheus. By default, metrics are available at http://localhost:9184/metrics endpoint. Best way to visualize these metrics is to use Grafana. Additionally, a common approach is to use node exporter to scrap performance metrics from the node and push them to Prometheus.

Prometheus and Grafana setup

Currently, we do not have any official Grafana setup guide, however you can try out setup prepared by the community:

Also, there is grafana setup for the local private network, that might be a good example on how to build your own setup. Officially supported dashboards can be found here in the IOTA repository.
