stars last_commit Stand With Ukraine

this linux/macos shell script checks, if a storj node (from the storj project) runs into errors and alerts the operator by discord push messages as well as emails. requires at least one storj node running with docker on linux.

features

  • multinode support 🌍
  • optionally discord (as quick notifications) and/or mail (with error details) alerts 📥 🔔
  • alerts, in case: ⚠️
    • audit, suspension and/or online scores are below a threshold (storj node disqualification risk)
    • audit timeouts are recognized (pending audits; discqualification risk)
    • audit time lags: download started vs. download finished is larger than 3 mins (storj node disqualification risk)
    • a threshold of repair gets/puts and downloads/uploads are reached (storj node disqualification risk)
    • there was no get/put at all in the last hour (storj node disqualification risk)
    • any other fatal error occurs, incl. issues with docker stability
    • storj node version is outdated
    • the node is offline (docker container not started)
  • reports: 📰
    • disk usage
    • success rates audits, downloads, uploads, repair up-/downloads
    • estimated payouts for today and current month
    • todays upload and download statistics
  • optimized for crontab and command line usage 💻
  • supports redirected logs to a file
  • only requires curl, jq, bc and (optionally) swaks to run 🔥

optimzed / tested for

  • debian bullseye 🐧
  • macos monterey 🍎 (jq + swaks installed with brew)

dependencies

  • storj node node up and running, within a
  • docker container
  • curl (http requests)
  • jq 1.6 ⚠️ (JSON parsing)
  • bc (arbitrary precision calculator)
  • swaks (mail sending, smtp)
  • discord.sh (discord pushes)

setting up storj system health

  1. optional: setup a webhook in the desired discord text channel
  2. optional: grab your smtp email authentication data
  3. download (or clone) a copy of discord.sh *
  4. download (or clone) a copy of storj-system-health.sh and storj-system-health.credo **
  5. optional: setup discord and mail variables in storj-system-health.credo
  6. Go nuts 🚀

* wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChaoticWeg/discord.sh/master/discord.sh
** wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dusselmann/storj-system-health.sh/main/storj-system-health.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dusselmann/storj-system-health.sh/main/storj-system-health.credo

setting up variables in *.credo

you will need to modify these variables in *.credo for your specific node and smtp mail server configuration. the *.credo file must not include comments and blank lines, the following description is just for your explanation:

## discord settings
DISCORDON=true.         # enables (true) or disables (false) discord pushes
DISCORDURL=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...
                        # your discord webhook url

## mail settings
MAILON=true             # enables (true) or disables (false) email messages
MAILFROM=""             # your "from:" mail address
MAILTO=""               # your "to:" mail address
MAILSERVER=""           # your smtp server address
MAILUSER=""             # your user name from smtp server
MAILPASS=""             # your password from smtp server
MAILPORT=""             # OPTIONAL smtp server port to be used 
MAILENCRYPT=""          # OPTIONAL encryption method to be used. Valid values are TLS, TLS-optional, TLS-optional-strict, TLS-on-connect. 

## alerting settings
SATPINGFREQ=3600        # in case satellite scores are below threshold, 
                        # value in seconds, when next alert will be sent earliest
                        
## storj node docker names and urls
NODES=storagenode       # storage node names, multiple: separated with comma, 
                        # e.g. storagenode,storagenode-a,storagenode-b
NODEURLS=localhost:14002
                        # storage node dashboard urls, multiple: separated with comma, 
                        # e.g. localhost:14002,192.168.171.5:14002

## node data mount points
MOUNTPOINTS=/mnt/node   # your storage node mount point, multiple: separated with comma
                        # e.g. /mnt/node,/mnt/node-a,/mnt/node-b
                        # enter 'source' from the docker run command here

## specify redirected logs per node
NODELOGPATHS=/          # put your relative path + log file name here,
                        # in case you've redirected your docker logs with
                        # e.g. config.yaml: 'log.output: "/app/config/node.log"'
                        #  /                       -> for non-redirected logs
                        #  /node.log               -> for single node redirect
                        #  /,/                     -> for 2 node with non-redirected logs
                        #  /node1.log,/node2.log   -> for 2 nodes with redirects
                        #  /node.log,/             -> only 1st is redirected
                        #  /mnt/hdd1/node.log      -> full path possible, too

## log selection specifica - in alignment with cronjob settings
LOGMIN=60               # latest log horizon to have a detailled view on, in minutes
                        # -> change this, if your cronjob runs more often than 60m
LOGMAX=720              # larger log horizon for overall statistics, in minutes

make sure, your script is executable by running the following command. add 'sudo' at the beginning, if admin privileges are required.

chmod u+x storj-system-health.sh  # or:
sudo chmod u+x storj-system-health.sh

chmod u+x discord.sh  # or:
sudo chmod u+x discord.sh

usage

you can run the script in debug mode to force a push message to your discord channel (if enabled) although no error was found - or without the debug flag to run it in silent mode via crontab (see automation chapter).

./storj-system-health.sh -d   # for a regular discord push message or:
./storj-system-health.sh      # for silent mode

optionally you can pass another path to *.credo, in case it has another name or source:

./storj-system-health.sh -c /home/pi/anothername.credo

in order to use the estimated payout information, which looks like so:

message:  [sn1] : hdd 38.62% > OK 0.25$ / 11.77$

... you should set your crontab to be run around 23:55 UTC. You need to adjust the timing, if you have a couple of nodes and/or huge log files to be analysed: the script needs to be finished before the next full hour, ideally latest 23:59:59 UTC.

it also supports a help command for further details:

./storj-system-health.sh -h

automation with crontab

to let the health check run automatically, here’s a crontab example for linux, which runs the script each hour.

15,35,55  * * * *   pi      /home/pi/storj-system-health.sh -d  > /dev/null

for macos please be aware of the following specifics:

  • use crontab -e and crontab -l, although it is depricated (for now it works)
  • you do not have to use the user name, it's to be executed with the current user
  • use full paths to your script and credo file
  • find out your standard path with echo §PATH and set it in crontab
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/sqlite/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
# UNIX:
30 *    * * *   pi      cd /home/pi/scripts/ && ./storj-system-health.sh
59 1    * * *   pi      cd /home/pi/scripts/ && ./storj-system-health.sh -Ed
# MACOS
# 30    * * * *  /Users/me/storj-system-health.sh >> /Users/me/Desktop/checks.txt 2>&1
# 59    1 * * *  /Users/me/storj-system-health.sh -Ed -c /Users/me/my.credo >> /Users/me/Desktop/checks.txt 2>&1
