title: Monitoring with Ethstats
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Ethstats is a service that displays real time and historical statistics about individual
|
|
nodes connected to a network and about the network itself. Individual node statistics include
|
|
the last received block, block time, propagation time, connected peers, latency etc. Network
|
|
metrics include the number of nodes, average block times, node geolocation,
|
|
transaction counts etc.
|
|
|
|
These statistics are presented to the user in the form of a dashboard served to a web browser.
|
|
This can be configured using the public Ethstats server for Ethereum mainnet or some
|
|
public testnets, or using a local copy of Ethstats for private networks. This page will
|
|
demonstrate how to set up an Ethstats dashboard for private and public networks.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To follow the instructions on this page the following are required:
|
|
|
|
* Geth
|
|
* Node
|
|
* NPM
|
|
* Git
|
|
|
|
## Ethstats
|
|
|
|
Ethstats has three components:
|
|
* a server that consumes data sent to it by each individual node on a network and serves
|
|
statistics generated from that data.
|
|
* a client that queries a node and sends its data to the server
|
|
* a dashboard that displays the statistics generated by the server
|
|
|
|
The summary dashboard for Ethereum Mainnet can be viewed at [ethstats.net](https://ethstats.net/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the Ethstats dashboard is not a reliable source of information about the entire Ethereum
|
|
network because submitting data to the Ethstats server is voluntary and has to be configured by
|
|
individual nodes. Therefore, many nodes are omitted from the summary statistics.
