Introducing Near Validator Watcher: enhancing monitoring capabilities for Near validators
At Kiln, we're committed to advancing blockchain infrastructure and empowering the community with tools that promote decentralization and reliability.
After the success of our Cosmos & Ethereum Validator Watcher, we're excited to announce the release of the open-sourced Near Validator Watcher, designed to streamline monitoring and enhance operational efficiency for Near validators.
Designed to meet Kiln’s enterprise-grade specifications, this tool is a Prometheus exporter that helps anyone running a validator on a Near-based blockchain to ensure the well-being of their operations.
Monitor missed blocks & chunks on Near
The Near Validator Watcher serves as a Prometheus exporter, providing valuable insights to help you monitor missed blocks and chunks of your Near validator in real-time. Leveraging the NEAR Protocol's RPC endpoints, this tool enables Near validators to closely monitor validator performance metrics crucial for maintaining network stability and reliability.
Easy setup and integration
Deploying the Near Validator Watcher is straightforward, whether you opt for a compiled binary or Docker image. With customizable options and endpoints, you can seamlessly integrate the tool into your monitoring stack and tailor it to your specific requirements.
By specifying your validator's RPC endpoint and validator pool ID, you can quickly start monitoring key metrics such as block production, validator stake, and sync states.
Comprehensive metrics on your Near validators
Gain deep insights into your validator's performance with a comprehensive set of metrics provided by the Near Validator Watcher. From block numbers and protocol versions to validator seat prices and slashed validators, this tool offers a holistic view of your validator's status, empowering you to proactively identify and address potential issues.
Community-driven development
Just like our Ethereum and Cosmos Validator Watchers, the Near Validator Watcher is open-source and available under the MIT license. We encourage developers and enthusiasts to contribute, collaborate, and innovate alongside us, fostering a vibrant community-driven approach to tool development and improvement.
As Near-based blockchains continue to grow and evolve, tools like the Near Validator Watcher play a crucial role in ensuring their stability and success.
We invite you to download the Near Validator Watcher and join us in our mission to advance blockchain infrastructure and empower the community.
