Monitoring with gLiveView

Guild LiveView, often known as gLiveView, is a local bash CLI monitoring utility with an easy-to-use interface for monitoring node status. It connects to the locally running node via the specified EKG/Prometheus node endpoints to collect and show node metrics, network information, and other information in real time. The program recognizes whether the node is being used as a relay or a block producer and adjusts the output accordingly.

To install gLiveView:

  1. Download the latest Guild LiveView script files, type:
curl -s -o gLiveView.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cardano-community/guild-operators/master/scripts/cnode-helper-scripts/gLiveView.sh
curl -s -o env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cardano-community/guild-operators/master/scripts/cnode-helper-scripts/env
  1. To set file permissions on the gLiveView.sh file that you downloaded in step 1, type:
chmod 755 gLiveView.sh

For most setups, it's enough to set CNODE_PORT in the env file.
