# poagov
|
|
|
|
A tool to monitor the POA Network's blockchain for
|
|
[governance events](https://github.com/poanetwork/wiki/wiki/Governance-Overview).
|
|
|
|
# Building
|
|
|
|
To build the `poagov` CLI tool, run the following:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/DrPeterVanNostrand/poagov.git
|
|
$ cd poagov
|
|
$ cargo build --release
|
|
|
|
*Note* `poagov` uses experimental Rust features that are currently only
|
|
available in Rust version 1.26.0-nightly. You can check which version of
|
|
Rust that you are using, by running:
|
|
|
|
$ rustc --version
|
|
|
|
If you are not using Rust 1.26.0-nightly, you can switch to it using:
|
|
|
|
$ rustup default nightly
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
Once you have built `poagov`, you can print out the CLI usage by running:
|
|
|
|
$ ./target/release/poagov --help
|
|
|
|
poagov 1.0
|
|
Monitores the POA Network's blockchain for governance events.
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
poagov [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
|
|
|
|
FLAGS:
|
|
--core monitor voting contracts deployed to the Core network (same as using --network=core)
|
|
--earliest start monitoring for goverance events starting from the first block in the chain
|
|
--email send governance notifications via email
|
|
-h, --help prints help information
|
|
-k monitor the blockchain for ballots to change keys (same as --monitor=keys)
|
|
--latest start monitoring for goverance events starting from the most recently mined block in the chain
|
|
--local monitor voting contracts deployed to a locally running POA chain (same as using --network=local)
|
|
-p monitor the change for ballots to change the proxy address (same as --monitor=proxy)
|
|
--push send governance notifications via push notification
|
|
--sokol monitor voting contracts deployed to the Sokol test network (same as using --network=sokol)
|
|
-t monitor the chain for ballots to change the minimum threshold (same as --monitor=threshold)
|
|
-V, --version prints version information
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS:
|
|
--block-time <value> the average time it takes to mine a new block
|
|
--monitor <value> a comma-separated list of ballot types to monitor for governance events; the available values are: keys, threshold, proxy
|
|
--network <value> the name of the network to monitor for ballots; the values available for this option are: core, sokol, local
|
|
--rpc <value> the URL for the RPC endpoint
|
|
--start <value> start monitoring for governance events at this block (inclusive)
|
|
--tail <value> start monitoring for governance events for the `n` blocks prior to the last mined block in the chain
|
|
|
|
# Setting up Email Notifications
|
|
|
|
In order to enable email notifications, you must change the name of the
|
|
`sample.env` file to `.env`. Then, you must add values for the following
|
|
SMTP config options in your `.env` file:
|
|
|
|
SMTP_HOST_DOMAIN=
|
|
SMTP_USERNAME=
|
|
SMTP_PASSWORD=
|
|
OUTGOING_EMAIL_ADDRESS=
|
|
|
|
Add a comma-separated list of email address to the "VALIDATORS" config
|
|
option in your .env file. These addresses will be sent emails when `poagov`
|
|
encounters governance events on the POA blockchain.
|
|
|
|
# An Explained Example
|
|
|
|
$ ./target/release/poagov --sokol --earliest -kt --email
|
|
|
|
- `--sokol` is used to monitor contracts deployed to POA's test network.
|
|
- `--earliest` starts monitoring from the first block in the blockchain.
|
|
- `-k` get notifications for ballots to change keys.
|
|
- `-t` get notifications for ballots to change the min threshold.
|
|
- `--email` sends out email notifications to each address in the
|
|
"VALIDATORS" config value (located in the .env file).
|
|
|
|
Press [ctrl-c] to exit `poagov`.
|
|
|
|
# Logs
|
|
|
|
Logs are output to stderr. Any notifications that were generated, sent,
|
|
or failed to be sent will be logged. The following is an example log for a
|
|
a notification for a ballot to change the min threshold that was generated
|
|
using the command `$ poagov --earliest -t`:
|
|
|
|
