chia-monitor VS farmr

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.

They are referring to farmr which is a 3rd party web dashboard for monitoring your farm.

There is also https://github.com/gilnobrega/farmr which is discord based. Though I assume you'd be sketched out with that as well.

Check Farmr

As for the notification system that tells you ohni time if you have won a block (it does it through Discord) you can use Farmr and this is the link: Website: https://farmr.net/ Program For Notification: https://github.com/joaquimguimaraes/farmr

Hey, that definitely sounds like something's wrong. If you'd be interested in debugging, could you check: (1) whether the farming destination address is the receive address of your wallet? If you created a new key when you first started Flax, it defaults to the receive address of that new wallet. You can check whether that address on the explorer https://flaxexplorer.org/. (2) if you are using NFT plots -- need to be on 0.1.1 or above, and (3) if you are using a tool like Farmr https://github.com/joaquimguimaraes/farmr, it can show effort and other statistics like proof times, and whether proofs are getting found but not blocks (which would mean a network problem).

It is possible that your peers happen to be "far away" from the timelords, and connecting to the official nodes should prevent that. I recommend using Farmr (https://github.com/joaquimguimaraes/farmr) or flaxharvestgraph to monitor proofs.
