One does eventually operate multiple nodes. What do you guys use to monitor them all at once?
Linux and docker running?
I have created a Grafana dashboard that sends me email alerts if one of my storage nodes doesn’t operate within my expectation.

Yes. Ubuntu 20.04 and docker.
Does it work well? Was considering something like that and looking for good configs.

If you’re interested, you can help me extending my bash script, coz I have just one node in operation. I can provide some options and optimizations based on your needs and you can verify, if it works well. Nothing to install separately, just make sure, the required libraries are installed.
you can install it by following this and taking the most recent binary from github
doesn’t quite do all the fancy stuff that grafana can do tho, but it is very light weight and i find it pretty reasonable.
Know I may be late to the party, but I can’t seem to get the api key necessary for MND. I’m on Windows, so don’t know if you have any experience, but any help would be dearly appreciated!
This is the closest I’ve gotten (command is running on the storj node itself, not multi node dashboard server, is that correct?)…:
C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node>storagenode.exe info --config-dir “C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node” --identity-dir “C:\Users\administrator.SVENDSEN\AppData\Roaming\Storj\Identity\storagenode”

Hello @KasperSvendsenGit ,
Welcome to the forum!
You may try to modify your command a little bit:
storagenode.exe info --config-dir "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\\" --identity-dir "C:\Users\administrator.SVENDSEN\AppData\Roaming\Storj\Identity\storagenode"
More like even this would be enough:
storagenode.exe info --config-dir "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\\"
Hi Alexey,
Thanks for your response, turns out it was because I was running the command as a non-admin user, and that was causing some permission issue in C:\Program Files …
I am however still struggling with adding a node to the dashboard. The web GUI’s “add-first-node” page doesn’t react when pasting in the information… The add node button doesn’t do anything…
Attempting to install via the json output from my node gives me the following error:
.\multinode.exe add .\storj-srv-01.json
2022-06-18T12:27:01.808+0200 INFO Configuration loaded {"Location": "C:\\Users\\administrator.SVENDSEN\\AppData\\Roaming\\Storj\\Multinode\\config.yaml"}
Error: illegal base64 data at input byte 4
I also noticed in the “multinode.exe add --help”, that I can enter the values of each property which seems to get me the closest. The service is started and according to the node’s own dashboard, it’s also online. TCP and UDP is forwarded to the local node’s IP:
.\multinode.exe add --api-secret "[Hidden for privacy]" --name "Storj-SRV-01" --node-id "[Hidden for privacy]" --public-address "[Hidden for privacy]:28967"
2022-06-18T12:41:31.597+0200 INFO Configuration loaded {"Location": "C:\\Users\\administrator.SVENDSEN\\AppData\\Roaming\\Storj\\Multinode\\config.yaml"}
Error: node is not reachable: rpc: tcp connector failed: rpc: dial tcp [Hidden for privacy]:28967: i/o timeout
When you adding a new node to the multinode dashboard you should use your external address and port.
This seems appear when you use an info command to generate an API key for some reason.
You can try several times (each time it generates a new IP) and pass it to the multinode dashboard. Or you can add manually via UI or with add command too.
You may also try to generate an API key with the issue-apikey command (it requires to specify an --identity-dir location).
Hi. I have 3 PC. One static IP. I try install multinode-dashboard on PC1. Have 2 nodes on PC2 and PC3. Nodes run on docker. Ok. I run multinode on PC1 from console as:
identity create multinode --difficulty 1
multinode setup
multinode run
On PC2 i goto docker node console and run:
storagenode info --config-dir /app/config --identity-dir /app/identity
GET node1 ID and API key.
goto PC1 and localhost:15002 - ok. i see multinode webUI and prompt for add first node. I enter node1 ID, enter external IP:PORT (port portforwarded) and API key, press ADD NODE and… do nothing. not in webui not in consloe where multinode running. May be i mistake somewhere ???
I try use lan ip address and port like 192.168.0.10:28697 but have same result.
I get latest multinode from Release v1.75.2 · storj/storj · GitHub (all 2 nodes have same version 1.75.2)
On all PCs - Ubuntu 22.04
Tnx.
UPD. I load previous version multinode (1.74.1) and can add node.
Hello @dipol0,
Welcome to the forum!
This is interesting. Does it work if you upgrade your multinode dashboard after you have added your nodes?
Yes. After adding nodes i stop multinode. Chenge on new version 1.75.2 and run - now i see dasboard, my previously added nodes and button “+New node” worked (i use it for readding one node after moving).
I think need on multinode showing version string + dark theme ))
- i dont see “Average Disk Used This Month” (total or by nodes)
