The `solana-watchtower` program is used to monitor the health of a cluster. It periodically polls the cluster over an RPC API to confirm that the transaction count is advancing, new blockhashes are available, and no validators are delinquent. Results are reported as InfluxDB metrics, with an optional Slack/Discord push notification on sanity failure. ### Metrics #### `watchtower-sanity` On every iteration this data point will be emitted indicating the overall result using a boolean `ok` field. #### `watchtower-sanity-failure` On failure this data point contains details about the specific test that failed via the following fields: * `test`: name of the sanity test that failed * `err`: exact sanity failure message ### Sanity failure push notification To receive a Slack and/or Discord notification on sanity failure, define one or both of these environment variables before running `solana-watchtower`: ``` export SLACK_WEBHOOK=... export DISCORD_WEBHOOK=... ```
