Is my masternode working?

So I keep seeing status NEW_START_REQUIRED, and WATCHDOG_EXPIRED. I have restarted it but it always goes back to one of those.

I have read that the wallet status can be inaccurate and should fix it'self in time, but it doesn't.

My node shows up green on Dash Ninja. Is it working?
 
Each time you restart your Masternode it goes to the end of the payment-queue (and you have to wait another ~7 days for your next payment), so as long as your Masternode is green over at dashninja you're fine, that's what the network sees.

Run the following commands and expect output like so:

rico@ubuntu-mn:cd ~/dashcore-0.12.1/bin/
rico@ubuntu-mn:~/dashcore-0.12.1/bin# ./dash-cli mnsync status
{
"AssetID": 999,
"AssetName": "MASTERNODE_SYNC_FINISHED",
"Attempt": 0,
"IsBlockchainSynced": true,
"IsMasternodeListSynced": true,
"IsWinnersListSynced": true,
"IsSynced": true,
"IsFailed": false
}

To check if your node is truly enabled, run the following:

rico@ubuntu-mn:~/dashcore-0.12.1/bin# ./dash-cli masternode list full | grep 23.104.238
"882b5e819891b5450eee647681c71bf9f614845524492c8e3ccbf3a839fb20f0-1": " ENABLED 70206 XmK9AhjaBbxu6EVVmxDtH9CarVE2AhuS58 1491035192 4579448 1490937283 645323 104.238.185.50:9999",

*Note the above ip is just an example

Just substitute in your own ip in the above command and if you see ENABLED, ur ok and your masternode is working as expected.

In addition you can check the logs to see if its advertising the correct ip:

rico@ubuntu-mn:cd ~/.dashcore/
rico@ubuntu-mn:~/.dashcore# tailf debug.log | grep "advertising address"
2017-04-01 08:33:22 AdvertiseLocal: advertising address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9999
2017-04-01 08:33:24 AdvertiseLocal: advertising address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9999
2017-04-01 08:33:29 AdvertiseLocal: advertising address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9999

Where "XXX" is noted above, you should see the ip of your masternode being advertised.

Hope this helps.
 
Cool, thanks.

Just to be 100% sure I have this right, it's just my remote mn that has to stay up. I can turn off my local Dash Core that actually has my coins in it right?
 
I am still green over on dashninja but my node has yet to receive a payment and it is giving me WATCHDOG_EXPIRED when I run ./dash-cli masternode list full | grep 23.104.238

Should I restart it?
 
What version of sentinel do you use?
 
I'm not actually sure how to tell. It was only a week ago I did installed it via git clone. So I am guessing a pretty new one.

It says SCHEMA_VERSION 20170111-1

I also get this on the last line of SENTINEL_DEBUG=1

pewee.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database.

Not sure if that is an issue?

Any idea? I still have not figured this out.

So a program that should doesn't have permission to write to the database. However I don't have any idea how I would fix that. Is there a database file somewhere I have to change permissions on?
