How is Covalent monitoring Refiner participant instances?

Covalent will be closely monitoring each participant's uptime in order to fairly judge performance. This is essential so that we can select winners.

To do so, Covalent will be monitoring on-chain metrics such as successful block result proofs submitted to the ProofChain contract.

How do I know if my Refiner instance is running?

There are two primary methods of verifying if your Refiner instance is running.

The first involves monitoring the Prometheus dashboard that can be enabled with the Refiner. To set this up, please follow these instructions. Furthermore, pay close attention to the following metric:

• Block Result Uploads: These show how many block results you have successfully uploaded to the storage instance.

Second, through Increment, you can view the proofs your Operator address is submitting.
