Energi is a cryptocurrency that is built on the Ethereum blockchain. It is designed to be a self-funding and self-governing cryptocurrency that uses a hybrid Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus model to improve scalability and security. The Energi Core Wallet is the official wallet software for Energi. It is a software application that allows users to securely store, send and receive Energi coins. The wallet also includes advanced features such as staking, Masternode setup, and coin control.
The prerequisites for monitoring Energi Core Wallet with Netdata are to have Energi Core Wallet and Netdata installed on your system.
Netdata auto discovers hundreds of services, and for those it doesn’t turning on manual discovery is a one line configuration. For more information on configuring Netdata for Energi Core Wallet monitoring please read the collector documentation.
You should now see the Energi Core Wallet section on the Overview tab in Netdata Cloud already populated with charts about all the metrics you care about.
Netdata has a public demo space (no login required) where you can explore different monitoring use-cases and get a feel for Netdata.
The blockindex metric is the total number of blocks that have been mined and added to the blockchain. It is important to monitor this metric as it provides an indication of the health and progress of the network, as well as the amount of work being done by miners. It can also be used to detect any problems with the network or any malicious activities that might be occurring.
The difficulty metric is a measure of the difficulty required to mine a block. This is an important metric to monitor as it is used to adjust the mining difficulty to ensure that the mining rate remains steady and that the network is secure. A higher difficulty indicates that the network is more secure, while a lower difficulty indicates that the network is less secure.
The mempool metric is a measure of the size of the unconfirmed transactions in the network. It is important to monitor this metric as a high mempool size can indicate a bottleneck in the network or a potential issue with the network. It is also important to monitor this metric to ensure that the network remains secure from attacks.
The secmem metric is a measure of the total amount of memory used by the Energi Core Wallet. It is important to monitor this metric to ensure that the wallet is not using too much memory, as this can lead to performance issues or even crashes. It is also important to monitor this metric to ensure that the wallet is secure, as a high secmem usage can indicate a potential security issue.
The network metric is a measure of the number of active connections to the network. It is important to monitor this metric to ensure that the network is healthy and that there is sufficient bandwidth and connectivity. This metric can also be used to detect any malicious activities on the network.
The timeoffset metric is a measure of the time difference between the nodes on the network. This is an important metric to monitor as it can indicate a problem with the synchronization of the nodes on the network. This can indicate a potential issue with the network or even a malicious attack on the network.
The UTXO Transactions metric is a measure of the number of unspent transactions that are currently stored in the mempool. It is important to monitor this metric as a high number of unspent transactions can indicate a bottleneck in the network or a potential issue with the network. It is also important to monitor this metric to ensure that the network remains secure from attacks.
