e7mon

Tool for monitoring your Ethereum clients. Client-agnostic as it queries the standardized JSON-RPC APIs. Requires the following APIs to be exposed on your execution client:

eth: querying the chain
net: getting P2P stats
web3: client information

Installation

From source

Install Go (minimum version 1.16)

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev build-essential

Build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/netbound/e7mon
cd e7mon
make install

This will put the binary in $GOBIN, which is in your PATH. You can verify the installation with:

e7mon client-versions

Usage

First, generate the YAML config file. This is included in the binary and will be written to $HOME/.config/e7mon/config.yml.

e7mon init

Next up, change the config to match your settings and preferences. Important to fill out is the correct API endpoint for each client.

Now run the monitor program:

# Monitor both clients
e7mon

# Execution client only
e7mon execution

# Beacon node only
e7mon beacon

Use the help command for all the options:

e7mon help
