[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
(especially single SPO) and as a result, it will improve the overall Cardano network security and reliability, and here is why
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
- solution increases awareness about the node state
- provides the possibility to check the node state on the go without access to PC or Mac
- setup and tune any custom alerts to cover your own monitoring needs
- immediate notifications to multiple destinations in case of any alert is triggered
[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
The only risk is financial, as we have not enough resources. We will deliver solution anyway, it will take just more time, if we
[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.
Publishing mobile applications on the Apple AppStore and Google Play Store will be the sign of delivering a solution (but not the end, we still have plenty of ideas and we will continue the development of the solution in the future after all the things above are implemented)
We will be glad if the SPO community will use our solution to monitor their nodes, we hope that we will have hundreds of users
Possible delivery date: December 1, 2022
The possible delivery date for alpha users: October 1, 2022
[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.
We already started development and doing it already 6 month and have a working prototype but we need more resources to finalize our solution, we are planning to do the following
- develop mobile/desktop node monitoring app for a node operator
- develop a one-button-click installer for the already developed server components
- develop web application to customize alerts
- develop storing the monitoring data to DB for the future analysis
- cover solution with automatic tests (optionally, if we cover other items in this list)
- develop telegram bot as an additional channel for notifications
- setup and test basic end-to-end notifications for mobile app and telegram
- publish the app in Google Play / App Store
Current developments are already available to the public and are located on GitHub (https://github.com/orgs/adarocket)
