Berachain Validator Monitoring

Berachain Validator Monitoring

All in one monitoring for Berachain. This dashboard is designed to monitor the validator node of the Berachain.

Note: This dashboard is also available on the GitHub Repository

Getting started

• Dedicated monitoring instance : Prometheus + Grafana + Node Exporter
• Nodes : Berachain validator node + node exporter
• Communication : For a secure and light connection, I recommend scraping only allowed connections. You can also use a reverse proxy if you prefer.

Prerequisite

• Prometheus
• Berachain validator node
• Berachain metric exporter
• Node exporter

Install Node exporter

shell Copy

apt install prometheus-node-exporter

Ensure that node-exporter is installed on your validator to pull node metrics

Prometheus Configuration

This dashboard assumes that you have a chain tag for capturing Prometheus metrics. This tag is used to switch between testnet and mainnet monitoring. Without this chain label, the dashboard will not display any data.

Please set up your prometheus.yml file as follows:

yaml Copy

## Prometheus.yaml example for node monitoring
# Ensure these are available from the prometheus server.
# 9100 port is prometheus-node-exporter
# 26660 port is the default Bera metrics port
  - job_name: "bera-chain"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["vn.testnet.bera.xxxx.com:9100", "vn.testnet.bera.xxxx.com:26660"]
        labels:
          group: "validator"
          chain: "testnet"
  - job_name: "bera-chain"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["vn.mainnet.bera.xxxx.com:9100", "vn.mainnet.bera.xxxx.com:26660"]
        labels:
          group: "validator"
          chain: "mainnet"

Note: These exact Prometheus chain names (testnet or mainnet) are used in variables in the dashboard to retrieve metrics from the API.

If you choose NOT to use these chain names in your prometheus.yml file, you will need to change these names in the Variables section within the dashboard itself.
