chiamon VS chia-monitor

I’m a bit of a monitoring nerd, and when I first got into chia I wrote the chia-exporter for Prometheus and put together chiamon, which just glues together a bunch of industry-standard monitoring tools (which I was already running anyways). Seeing people struggle with installing and configuring all that showed me that there’s a need for a simpler solution for less-technical people who only care about monitoring chia. More than I was willing or able to take on, so kudos. I probably don’t have a lot of time to help with your project either, but I’d be happy to help out where I can.

Hey, I also have something similar - but sadly not for plotting (yet).https://imgur.com/a/rPuqK3c.Used https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon and customized it a bit.

Thanks! I don't have the resources (or motivation) to test and package for all the different ecosystems that chia can run on. I myself am using a niche system - freebsd. If there was community interest in building it out maybe a github project could be in the future. Besides, there are already some great setups out there using grafana.

There are tools like ChiaMon that you could use; https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon

I use Grafana and Prometheus, with various exporters to collect metrics on everything. Add promtail and Loki for logs to really spice it up. See my example setup: https://github.com/retzkek/chiamon

The goal is to have some kind of dashboard (like chiamon) with all active/inactive plotters and be able to control them through the network. Ideally even upload the finished plots directly to the NAS through the network. Following the HiveOS example.

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.
