Overview

In the dynamic and distributed environment of Akash, ensuring the health and reachability of your deployed nodes is crucial for maintaining seamless operations. Introducing the Akash Node Health Monitoring System, a robust and user-friendly application designed to integrate effortlessly with your existing applications deployed on Akash.

Key Features

Seamless Integration The application integrates smoothly with any app deployed on Akash. Simply add the monitoring system as a binary, open the required port, and specify the IP address of any deployed node.

Continuous Monitoring The system continuously monitors the health and reachability of all nodes within your network. Regular health checks and reachability tests ensure that all nodes are functioning optimally.

Intelligent Notification System Receive prompt notifications if any node becomes unavailable or fails to meet health standards. Notifications are sent directly to the node owner's email, ensuring immediate awareness and quick response times.

Decentralized Health Checks Nodes are organized into token rings, each with a unique hash based on its IP address and launch time. Nodes within the same token ring perform regular health checks on each other, with additional checks on random nodes outside their ring, enhancing reliability and fault tolerance.

Consensus-Based Failure Detection The system employs a consensus-based approach to failure detection. If a node fails to respond, multiple nodes verify its status before it is marked as unhealthy, reducing false positives.

Benefits

• Enhanced Reliability: Continuous health monitoring ensures that your Akash deployments are always running at their best, minimizing downtime and service disruptions.
• Quick Response: Prompt notifications allow for immediate action, reducing the impact of node failures on your operations.
• Scalable and Robust: Designed to handle large-scale deployments with up to 10,000 nodes, the system is scalable and robust, suitable for diverse and complex environments.
• Ease of Use: With simple integration steps and automatic synchronization, the monitoring system requires minimal setup and maintenance, freeing up your time for more critical tasks.

How It Works

• Deploy the Binary: add the monitoring system as a binary to your existing applications on Akash.
• Configure Settings: ppen the required port and specify the IP address of any deployed node.
• Automatic Registration: the system automatically registers nodes and organizes them into token rings based on their unique hashes.
• Health Checks: nodes perform regular health checks on each other, both within and outside their token rings.
• Failure Detection: if a node is detected as potentially unhealthy, a consensus-based verification is triggered.
• Email Notifications: upon confirmed failure, an email notification is sent to the node's owner, prompting immediate action.
