tmtop: Real-time Tendermint Node Monitoring

tmtop is a powerful CLI tool designed to monitor Tendermint-based blockchain nodes in real-time. It provides live insights into your node’s performance, including block heights, peer connections, transaction rates, and more.

Repository: GitHub - QuokkaStake/tmtop

1. Installation

You can install tmtop by building it from source.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/QuokkaStake/tmtop.git
cd tmtop

Step 2: Build the Binary

go build -o tmtop

Step 3: Move the Binary to Your Path

sudo mv tmtop /usr/local/bin/

Verify the installation:

tmtop --version

2. Running tmtop

Once installed, start tmtop by running:

tmtop <NODE_RPC_ENDPOINT>

For example, if your node is running locally on port 26657:

tmtop http://localhost:26657

Common Flags

Flag
Description

--block-time-refresh-rate duration

Block time refresh rate (default 30s)

--chain-info-refresh-rate duration

Chain info refresh rate (default 5m0s)

--chain-type string

Chain type. Allowed values are: 'cosmos-rpc', 'cosmos-lcd', 'tendermint' (default "cosmos-rpc")

--consumer-chain-id string

Consumer chain ID

--debug-file string

Path to file to write debug info/logs to

--disable-emojis

--provider-rpc-host string

Provider chain RPC host URL

--refresh-rate duration

Refresh rate (default 1s)

--timezone string

Timezone to display dates in

--upgrade-refresh-rate duration

Upgrades refresh rate (default 30m0s)

--validators-refresh-rate duration

Validators refresh rate (default 1m0s)

--verbose

Display more debug logs

--version

version for tmtop

Example with a 5-second refresh rate:

tmtop http://localhost:26657 --refresh-rate=5

3. Troubleshooting

Issue: Cannot Connect to RPC

Error: failed to fetch data from RPC Solution: Ensure your node’s RPC endpoint is accessible. Try:

curl http://localhost:26657/status

If the request fails, check your firewall and node settings.

Issue: Incorrect Block Height

If tmtop shows an outdated block height, your node might be lagging. Check logs:

journalctl -u oraid -f

Or you can use public oraichain RPC

tmtop https://rpc.orai.io:443

4. Conclusion

tmtop is an excellent tool for real-time monitoring of Tendermint-based blockchain nodes. It provides vital stats that help in maintaining a healthy validator.

🔹 Stay ahead, monitor your node, and ensure optimal performance with tmtop! 🚀
