Masternode Health Monitoring Concepts by the World’s First Masternode Marketplace Company (WFMMC)

As WFMMC is running the ICO to raise funds to build the Masternode Marketplace and Masternode Monitoring and Management tool — you are welcome to participate at the http://wfmmc.online . Your support is needed, otherwise the future could be gray and boring…
Concept of the WFMMC Masternode Monitoring tool
Let’s imagine for a moment, you have your own masternode. Not just “a masternode” you’ve invested into, but rather a your own masternode.
Something you have built and dearly care for. And, you want to give your masternode a Royal treatment. While, you’re not sure what the “royal treatment” could include, you just like the term.
What is a Masternode and what key aspects of a masternode must be monitored?
Well, let’s dissect a masternode to see what’s inside:
- Server — hardware (physical microchips soldered to the motherboard)
- Server — Operating System — usually unix or windows
- Server — masternode software — depends on a particular crypto coin
- Blockchain node — a part of blockchain network
What a user has control over:
Does an average user has any control over the hardware of his cloud server?
Usually — no. So, we should probably leave hardware worries to a hosting provider’s support staff because why worry about something we have not control over?
Does an average user has any control over the Operating System, installed on the rented server?
Usually — yes.
There you go — one of the critical aspects of masternode must always be monitored — is the server alive at all or is it overloaded and, therefore, “frozen”? Even “Little Things” like the amount of free space on a server must be kept in mind.
A masternode “frozen” at the Operating System level cannot serve the blockchain, so it will never receive rewards.
Does an average masternode operator has any control over the masternode software, installed on the cloud server?
Yes, he — most likely — does.
The second aspect, critical to a masternode’s health, is monitoring whether or not a masternode software is working as it should.
You see, if a masternode is operational as a bunch of microchips soldered together at a factory… But isn’t doing its jobs as a blockchain node… Then rewards will be distributed to someone else. No masternode investor wants to cry out loud over lost rewards due to a “frozen” masternode software.
Does an average masternode operator has any control over the blockchain a masternode is a part of?
May be not the “control” it terms of altering the blockchain’s data records, but since all data records are available to public — a operator can “keep an eye” on blockchain records to monitor system messages relevant only to his masternode.
So, the final aspect, critical to masternode’s health, is keeping an eye on the blockchain the see if masternode is a part of the network. Make sure other masternodes can see and talk to your masternode.
