2.Lightning Network Dev Announces Alpha Version of Node Monitoring Tool

The Lightning Network, a second-layer blockchain protocol designed to give fast-speed transactions for Bitcoin and other networks, has a new node monitoring tool

According to blog post  The Lightning Network — now has a new node monitoring tool accessible for use. The innovation is called Indmon and it has been depicted as a “drop-in, dockerized monitoring solution” by its creators.

The essential goal of this tool is to help keep away from some specialty’ arrange issues  before they even arise.  Concerning this improvement ,” there were problems with the shared network this year that could have prevented by means of a node monitor.

On the subject Wallace added:

“A routing node operator may want to be notified if multiple channels are closed in rapid succession or if their peer connections show signs of instability.”

Lightning Network- The Future of lndmon

It need to enormously expand the set of Prometheus metric collectors. ind’s  rich RPC interface gives reams of data that is not right now collected. it also  need to add alerts to Indmon  e.g., a user might want to be notified when someone forwards a large payment through one of their channels, or when someone opens a channel to them. Another notable priority, as mentioned before, will be cultivating community-sourced dashboards.

Here’s a list of the metrics currently available in lndmon.

The company has designed  computer models to run BTC nodes at a less expensive rate. They will also make the node operation easy for a variety of users. These computers can be used by people from different backgrounds like miners, privacy-conscious individuals, and business at a low cost.
