Introduction

solana-exporter (Solana Rust Exporter) is an advanced, modular monitoring solution for Solana validator nodes. The executable part is implemented in Rust and was initially based on the Golang original by CertusOne but now provides additional functionality. It comprises

• a Prometheus exporter executable written in Rust,

• a Docker container suitable for docker-compose,

• sample Grafana dashboards.

Typical uses include

• monitoring Solana validator nodes by the nodes' operator,

• managing a stake pool,

• monitoring the cluster health.

This guide explains how to set the monitoring stack up and how to stay on top of things using Grafana alerts.
