This guide tells how to connect to Aleo Community Dashboard

The guide is ONLY for those who run Aleo miners

For more information on Telegraf and Grafana see https://github.com/stakeconomy/solanamonitoring/blob/main/README.md

Installation & Setup

1. Installation of Telegraf

First of all, you need to have Aleo node installed.

Check your miner healt status (very thanks to Nodes.Guru team for the script):

wget -O aleo_monitor.sh https://api.nodes.guru/aleo_monitor.sh && chmod +x aleo_monitor.sh && ./aleo_monitor.sh localhost

Once you have the miner on your server, proceed with the following instructions:

# install telegraf
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/influxdata.list
deb https://repos.influxdata.com/ubuntu bionic stable
EOF

sudo curl -sL https://repos.influxdata.com/influxdb.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install telegraf jq bc

# make the telegraf user sudo and adm to be able to execute scripts as sol user
sudo adduser telegraf sudo
sudo adduser telegraf adm
sudo -- bash -c 'echo "telegraf ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers'

sudo cp /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf.orig
sudo rm -rf /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf

2. Telegraf configuration

Create file /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf

touch /etc/telegraf/telegraf.conf

In file past the text below . Change your hostname

# Global Agent Configuration
[agent]
  hostname = "YOUR HOST NAME" # set this to a name you want to identify your node in the grafana dashboard
  flush_interval = "15s"
  interval = "15s"

# Input Plugins
[[inputs.cpu]]
    percpu = true
    totalcpu = true
    collect_cpu_time = false
    report_active = false
[[inputs.disk]]
    ignore_fs = ["devtmpfs", "devfs"]
[[inputs.io]]
[[inputs.mem]]
[[inputs.net]]
[[inputs.system]]
[[inputs.swap]]
[[inputs.netstat]]
[[inputs.processes]]
[[inputs.kernel]]
[[inputs.diskio]]

# Output Plugin InfluxDB
[[outputs.influxdb]]
  database = "telegraf"
  urls = [ "http://194.163.131.85:8086" ] # keep this to send all your metrics to the community dashboard otherwise use http://yourownmonitoringnode:8086
  username = "telegraf" # keep both values if you use the community dashboard
  password = "RB6b6pcqrKTP"

[[inputs.exec]]
#  ## override the default metric name of "exec"
  name_override = "connections"
  commands = ["sudo su -c /root/aleoscipt/getconnection.sh  -s /bin/bash root"]
  interval = "1m"
  timeout = "1m"
  data_format = "value"
  data_type = "integer" # required

 [[inputs.exec]]
  name_override = "blockheight"
  commands = ["sudo su -c /root/aleoscipt/getheight.sh   -s /bin/bash root"]
  interval = "1m"
  timeout = "1m"
  data_format = "value"
  data_type = "integer" # required

 [[inputs.exec]]
  name_override = "minedcounter"
  commands = ["sudo su -c /root/aleoscipt/getmindeblocks.sh   -s /bin/bash root"]
  interval = "1m"
  timeout = "1m"
  data_format = "value"
  data_type = "integer" # required
  
 [[inputs.exec]]
  name_override = "getversion"
  commands = ["sudo su -c /root/aleoscipt/getversion.sh   -s /bin/bash root"]
  interval = "1m"
  timeout = "1m"
  data_format = "value"
  data_type = "string" # required
  

Create folder (if you are a root user)

mkdir /root/aleoscipt
cd /root/aleoscipt

Create bash scripts

touch /root/aleoscipt/getconnection.sh
touch /root/aleoscipt/getheight.sh
touch /root/aleoscipt/getmindeblocks.sh
touch /root/aleoscipt/getversion.sh

Give them execution permission

chmod +x /root/aleoscipt/getconnection.sh
chmod +x /root/aleoscipt/getheight.sh
chmod +x /root/aleoscipt/getmindeblocks.sh
chmod +x /root/aleoscipt/getversion.sh

Edit getconnection.sh

nano /root/aleoscipt/getconnection.sh

Past following text in getconnection.sh file

#!/bin/bash

curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"documentation", "method": "getconnectioncount", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://localhost:3030/ | jq '.result?'

Edit getheight.sh

nano getheight.sh

Past following text in getheight.sh file

#!/bin/bash

curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"documentation", "method": "getblockcount", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://localhost:3030/ | jq '.result?';

Edit getmindeblocks.sh

nano getmindeblocks.sh

Past following text in getmindeblocks.sh file

#!/bin/bash

curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"documentation", "method": "getnodestats", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://localhost:3030/ | jq '.[].misc?.blocks_mined?'

Edit getversion.sh

nano getversion.sh

Past following text in getversion.sh file

#!/bin/bash

/root/.cargo/bin/snarkos --help | grep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'

3. Telegraf launch

sudo systemctl enable --now telegraf
sudo systemctl is-enabled telegraf

sudo systemctl restart telegraf
systemctl status telegraf

4. Post-installation

Now everything is ready. Check your node here

You need to find it by name in drop down menu at the top of a page
