Hey there fellow witnesses and other blockbrothers followers !

We're here with a little update on something we are working on right now. (besides polishing and updating Steemify)

Announcing SteemTurbine


We are thrilled to announce an awesome tool for witnesses, which can monitor witness servers and seed nodes.

It will have a couple of key features:

  • It will be able to securely connect to several servers at once, and detect if they are either down or out-of-sync before the server will actually start missing blocks.

  • There will be several methods of failing over to back-up servers and/or temporarily disabling the witness server if there is no reliable back-up available.

  • As an added bonus to server administrators, the tool will be able to send notifications and warnings via Telegram!

Right now, we are testing this tool internally, smooth things out, but we will release it as Open Source via Utopian.io when we feel confident there are no major issues.

Hey @blockbrothers, I just voted for @blockbrothers as a witness. Greetings :)

Thank you. Greetings yourself.

so what can i do mrs. @blockbrothers

You can vote for us as witness if you want to help. That would be very much appreciated.

Very nice.. I hope the tool will be easy to use like the Steemify app.. Good luck with testing..

Ofc you'll need some knowledge about how stuff works, but we're trying to keep it as simple as possible and document everything well.

100% upvoted, can't wait for this. once this is running i'll become a witness, all because that was the thing that held me back. monitoring. nice, can't wait guys.

Hmm. Do you think you can add a collectd / influxdb / grafana stack ?

Anyway. Thx for your hard works.

We're looking into integrating some form of system stats, but this will not be in the first release. On the other hand, it will be open-sourced, so anybody can integrate such features when desired.

Greetings @blockbrothers, I just voted for your #witness! Thanks for all your hard work!
