chia-monitor VS chiadog

I have an Ubuntu 22.04 box running Chia, and one third-party script, Chia Monitor. I also have a Windows 11 box in my office. Both sytems were running Chia 1.7.0.

I'm really happy with chia-monitor

If you're like me and run the Chia-monitor to monitor your farm and harvesters, you may have to reinstall it from the chia-monitor directory with the command pipenv install --python=3.9 .

Look at the Chia Monitor. Its using RPC for all metrics. https://github.com/philippnormann/chia-monitor

I know you're both fans of the Prometheus/Grafana stack. Do you have a preferred exporter for farmer metrics? I like Philipp Normann's [Chia Monitor](https://github.com/philippnormann/chia-monitor) because it uses Chia's RPC API rather than mtail'ing logs, and it has the potential to replace Chiadog too. I would like to see the Chia devs continue to provide a wide set of metrics for these exporters to pull, if you could please give them a gentle nudge!

Grafana dashboards can be really nice. I've been monitoring my farm and harvester for months now using chia-monitor as it provides me with all the information I care about, and I can check it on my phone.

Chiadog is a monitoring program for people who solo and dont want to manually check the log file. I have mine set up to ping into a discord room should there be any issues. From memory it was a pain to set up, but feel free to check it out here: https://github.com/martomi/chiadog - not really needed if pooling IMO.

It’s chiadog.

Check Chiadog , it has a lot of features to monitor and notify events like reduced plot count, hdd disconnect, node out of sync, etc.

Good idea! I created a feature request for Chiadog: https://github.com/martomi/chiadog/issues/322

This would be a neat thing to roll up into a monitoring system like chiadog

You can get chiadog for that, it distills the messages down into more human-readable info. FlexFarmer only makes a huge difference when you're farming on a weak system like a Pi. Solo farming isn't that scary.
