Installation

Clone this repository to your server.

git clone https://github.com/MxShift/shift-monitor.git

You need to edit config.json file with all your proper data. You can use it for Mainnet and Testnet both or only for Mainnet.

"m_name" // Mainnet delagate username;

"t_name" // Testnet delagate username;

"m_publicKey" // Mainnet publicKey;

"t_publicKey" // Testnet publicKey;

"serverip" // IP of the server where you are installing this software;

"serverport" // It's the port of your server for the Shift Monitor. Must be different from the ports that Shift uses;

"servers" // It's an array of all the servers you will monitor.

"server1" // Server number;

"name" // Your server's name;

"http" // Your server's connection;

"ip" // Your server's ip or domain;

"port" // Your server's Shift port;

"testnet" // 'true' for Testnet servers, 'false' for Mainnet servers;

After you finish and save your changes from config.json,

Run server.js in a background process. You can use screen:

screen -R shift-monitor

cd shift-monitor
node server.js

node server.js will start a web server which you can access with http://serverip:serverport/ from a web browser like Firefox.

You will be able to obtain almost realtime data. A page reloaded every 27 seconds (Shift Block Time).

Browser notifications are works perfectly with Firefox Desktop and Mobile browsers.

Telegram

For enabling messages from Telegram Bot you need to edit config.json file with all your proper data.

"telegram": {

"enabled" // 'true' for Telegram messages;

"apiKey" // your Bot API Token;

1. Start a conversation with: BotFather;
2. Press: /newbot;
3. Tell botfather your bot’s name;
4. Tell botfather your bot’s username;
5. BotFather will say “Congratulations!” and give you a token;
6. Replace apiKey with your token;

"chat_id" // your Chat ID;

1. Open Telegram and start a conversation with: userinfobot;
2. Replace chat_id with your ID;

"timeout" // timeout for messages in blocks (1 = 27 sec). Min timeout is 2;

Telegram Bot will send you a bad message when one of your Nets is not forging and then a good message when it's forging again.

Chromium based browsers

For using with Chromium based browsers you should use a secure https connection for recieving notifications. You can enabled it in config.json:

"ssl": {

"enabled" // 'true' for https support;

"port" // port for https connection;

"options": {

"key" // your SSL private key;

"cert" // your SSL certificate;

Or you can start your Chromium based browser with this key:

--user-data-dir=/tmp/foo --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://serverip:serverport/

Notifications are not supported by Chromium based Mobile browsers.
