Very cool graphs. Do you mind sharing the full commands you use for rrdtool to generate those specific graphs please ?
I've only ever played with rrdtools with cacti, but cacti was doing all the work :/

Thanks heaps Smiley



I am actually not that far with rrdtool, didnt have much time the last days. The pic above is made with vnstati, which is very convenient because it gathers all the data automatically. I plan to change the colors, I saw a pic somewhere where that was possible. Full command for it is:

Code:
vnstati -ne -nh -i venet0 -o /var/... -hs --transparent 0 -ru 0

transparent 0 is not needed AFAIK, just have it in there since I plan to mess with the config files.

[...] I found this script: http://pastebin.com/wKytLZmc but noone running it. [...]

I run it with some modifications, i.e. http://84.200.34.113
I plan to add server uptime and bitcoind uptime to it too, but haven't gotten around it yet.

Morbilas (he wrote the one you linked to, if I'm not mistaken) also uses it on the nodes he sets up: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/psa-add-a-full-node-for-just-19year-582817

I came across this which I quite like too: http://176.10.116.242/

Thanks for the links, but it looks like most of them use PHP, not really into that Sad My current play is to just make a static html page that displays pictures which get updated by shell scripts in the background.

Thanks for running this, it's good that more nodes are up that can send out 100mbps instead of the ~2mbps that most home connections can do. When Bitcoin picks a sad node to download the blockchain from, it delays the user getting caught up. A lot of people only run Bitcoin when they send money, requiring a day or weeks to be downloaded at once.

My main problem at home is that I cant get the cable modem/router to properly forward ports to the router I use to configure the network. They somehow "disabled" the DMZ I had. If I enter the URL directly I can still see the DMZ settings, but not change anything. Well some ISPs are just dicks when its their hardware -_-

You might as well do something interesting like put up an abe blockchain explorer if you are fronting the bill for services. Also https://insight.bitpay.com/ is newer explorer software.

I dont think Ill run anything else there. The server is very limited (50GB disk, 2 GB ram), but I will consider it should I ever upgrade. I initially thought to make the node available via tor. Ill see how the server handles the node, cronjobs for the stats and apache first.

Are the stats for 26th and 27th you downloading the blockchain after installation? That seems like an awful lot of inbound traffic.

Yes, the 28th is so low because I didnt start bitcoind when I went to sleep as you can see from the stats below (made with vnstati).



Looks like one of the peers I have a connection to is also downloading the complete blockchain as its not yet fully synced (~290k/317k blocks)
Edit: Yes getpeerinfo confirms it. I have a connections to two other nodes that are at 224k and 228k blocks
Code:
$ bitcoind getpeerinfo | grep startingheight
-snip-
        "startingheight" : 224207,
-snip-
        "startingheight" : 288428,
-snip-

Next step is to get some nice graphs (currently reading into rrdtool[1]) for the number of connected peers and figure out how many of them the server can handle once fully synced.

See: http://humdi.net/vnstat/man/vnstati.html

Or you can be lazy and pipe the console output to a text file and read that with your browser

Thanks, vnstati looks awesome, I thought I had to dump the data from vnstat and feed them into something else "by hand".

A textfile came to mind, but Im not that lazy Wink

I struggled with MY ISP and their cablemodem long enough and decided its not worth my time and efford to get a local full node working. Thus I bought a VPS a few days ago and now have a working full node on a server that does nothing else.

Stats as of today:

last known block: 286600
Peers: 20/50
Bandwith: 100MBit, no limits on traffic
Bandwith used:
Code:
day | in (gb) | out (gb)
25  |  0.06   | 0.01
26  |  9.01   | 2.33
27  | 11.71   | 7.22
28  |  0.09   | 3.16

Since I am a bit lazy I dont want to login via ssh everytime I want to see the above (and possible more) stats.

I want a html page that shows basic info about the node. I found this script: http://pastebin.com/wKytLZmc but noone running it.

Please share a link to your full node or what youd like to see on a stats page regarding your full node. The only thing that should be used for it is HTML. The page can be build by a cronjob via python or ruby in the background though.
