Monitoring

Network operators can use miden-network-monitor and OpenTelemetry tracing to observe network health, RPC freshness, validator status, prover status, and related infrastructure.

Network Monitor

miden-network-monitor is an observer and test client. It is not required for block production. Depending on configuration, it can check RPC freshness, validator health, remote prover status, faucet availability, explorer availability, note transport, and end-to-end network transaction flows.

Use the binary help output for the current configuration surface:

miden-network-monitor start --help

Telemetry

Node services use standard OpenTelemetry environment variables for trace export. The local compose telemetry overlay is a useful reference for wiring services to an OTLP endpoint, but production deployments should use the operator's own telemetry backend and retention policy.
