monitoring multiple nm using blocknotify

Status updated when a new block is received.

-blocknotify=<cmd>     Execute command when the best block changes (%s in cmd is replaced by block hash)
-walletnotify=<cmd>    Execute command when a wallet transaction changes (%s in cmd is replaced by TxID)
-alertnotify=<cmd>     Execute command when a relevant alert is received (%s in cmd is replaced by message)

Damn, that's such a good idea!

Using python and https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc

change code in /usr/local/bin/darkcoindmonitor.sh

#!/usr/bin/python
import io
import os
import sys
import datetime
from time import time
from time import sleep
import getpass
from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy

#--------------
def ParseConfig(fileBuffer):
    assert type(fileBuffer) is type(b'')
    f = io.StringIO(fileBuffer.decode('ascii', errors='ignore'), newline=None)
    result = {}
    for line in f:
        assert type(line) is type(b''.decode())
        stripped = line.strip()
        if stripped.startswith('#'):
            continue
        if stripped == '':
            continue
        parts = stripped.split('=')
        assert len(parts) == 2
        parts[0] = parts[0].strip()
        parts[1] = parts[1].strip()
        result[parts[0]] = parts[1]
    return result

#----------------------------

with open(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), '.darkcoin', 'darkcoin.conf'), mode='rb') as f:
    configFileBuffer = f.read()
config = ParseConfig(configFileBuffer)
serverURL = 'http://' + config['rpcuser'] + ':' + config['rpcpassword'] + '@localhost:' + str(config['rpcport'])
access = AuthServiceProxy(serverURL)

#-----------------------------
oneday = int(time())
USER=getpass.getuser()

#-----------------------------

i1 = access.getinfo()
i2 = access.masternode('debug')
i3 = access.masternode('count')
i4 = access.masternode('current')

getinfo = 'bl: ' + str(i1['blocks']) + ' diff: ' + str(i1['difficulty']) + ' conn: ' + str(i1['connections']) + ' errors: ' + str(i1['errors']) + '\n'

i1fo = open('/dev/shm/getinfo.' + USER, 'w')
i2fo = open('/dev/shm/debug.' + USER, 'w')
i3fo = open('/dev/shm/count.' + USER, 'w')
i4fo = open('/dev/shm/current.' + USER, 'w')


i1fo.write(getinfo)
i1fo.close()

i2fo.write(str(i2) + '\n')
i2fo.close()

i3fo.write(str(i3) + '\n')
i3fo.close()

i4fo.write(str(i4) + '\n')

Once I've got my triple node up and running this is going straight in. Nice work!

 

[Figlmüller]

Hi,

Using shared memory to to make the status of each node available is a good idea. I haven't thought about that kind of approach to monitor masternodes. One could write a parser / plugin to monitor the shared memory and feed the data to your favourite monitoring solution (such as nagios). I'm currently monitoring a masternode single instance by sending out emails via ssmtp but your approach looks way better.

I would love an android app that lists the status of my masternodes and vibrates when a payment is received.

and one for the iPhone please
while you are at it !
that would be amazing !

a friend of mine got an iPhone app (not pretty) done for 2000 US !
