Node Guardian


About

Known also as Smart Node, UltraNote Node Guard is a process guardian that monitors over the UltraNote daemon. It catches daemon errors and also monitors block progress. In case if an error is detected or the block count is stale, the UltraNote Node Guard restarts the daemon and notifies the devs in Discord over a web hook, or sends an email to the node admin.

The UltraNote Node Gaurd can also connect to a pool of node servers, so the node will be listed among available nodes for either infrastructure monitoring or a remote node with a listing fee.
