provider: prometheus exporter - monitor deployments, bids, leases, attributes, ...

[andy108369]

We need akash-exporter which would be listening the akash blockchain (RPC node) for the transactions such as:

• deployment-create, bid-create, lease-create, ... - https://github.com/akash-network/node/blob/v0.20.0/x/market/types/v1beta2/event.go#L13-L25
• provider-created, provider-updated, provider-deleted, for provider attributes - https://github.com/akash-network/node/blob/v0.20.0/x/provider/types/v1beta2/event.go#L8-L13
• audit-trusted-auditor-created, audit-trusted-auditor-deleted for audits - https://github.com/akash-network/node/blob/v0.20.0/x/audit/types/v1beta2/event.go#L9-L14

FWIW (for inspiration), Chia just released a video of their chia-exporter (it listens to the RPC node, and prometheus is collecting that data), then they connect grafana to prometheus to display cool dashboards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NNbmuwf99s

We could probably take chia-exporter as an example (or rather more tendermint wss/rest-based one) and see if we can modify it to support the akash node events based on the code paths above. If we get akash-exporter, then we need to run akash RPC node and akash-exporter, which prometheus TSDB will be reading from, and then make some dashboards in grafana.

REST: cendermint

I've tried a rest-based prometheus exporter https://github.com/jim380/Cendermint - it is working.

The modules are available here https://github.com/jim380/Cendermint/tree/master/rest

I think it can be extended with the market, provider, node modules and the exporter https://github.com/jim380/Cendermint/tree/master/exporter accordingly.

WSS: nodejs

Not sure if that helps, but wss:// (websocket) can also be leveraged:
