Monitoring tools & best practices

To check if your validation node is running correctly, you can check the rpc_duration_validation_validate_success_count metric in your metrics server.

This metric is a counter of the number of successful validation calls; if it is increasing, it means your validation node is running correctly.

You can also check where this log (validation node started) appears:

• If this log appears on the validation node, it means your validation node is running correctly.

• If this log appears on the staker node (validator node), it means your staker node is still validating itself. It indicates that your staker node is not connecting to the validation node correctly; you need to double-check your configuration.
