AMON Checker

Reliable Intelligence Data for Akash Network (A Checker Subnet)

📋 Overview

Amon continuously monitors the Akash Network(a DePIN compute marketplace)'s provider fleet, collecting critical metrics and submitting verifiable measurements to the Checker Network. This subnet is a vital component of the Checker Network ecosystem, ensuring reliable, fairly collected intelligence data from DePINs and Web3 networks.

✨ Key Features

• Real-time Provider Monitoring - Track health metrics across the entire Akash provider fleet
• Verifiable Measurements - Cryptographically secure data submission to Filecoin settlement layer
• Resource Availability Tracking - Monitor CPU, memory, and storage capacity
• Transparent Provider Performance - Access reliable metrics for informed deployment decisions

🏗️ Architecture

Core Components

Component	Description
🔍 Provider Discovery	Automatically maintains an up-to-date list of active Akash providers
🔔 Health Verification	Performs comprehensive health checks including latency, uptime, and response validation
📊 Resource Monitor	Tracks provider resource metrics (CPU, memory, storage) and capacity
🔐 Measurement Engine	Generates and submits cryptographically verifiable measurements

Measurement Flow

1. 🔄 Provider list is periodically refreshed from the Akash Network
2. 🔍 Health checks and resource monitoring are performed on each provider
3. ✅ Measurements are validated and formatted according to subnet specifications
4. 📤 Verified measurements are submitted to the Checker Network

🔧 Technical Specifications

• Provider Health Metrics: Response time, availability, resource capacity
• Resource Monitoring: CPU utilization, memory usage, storage availability
• Measurement Frequency: Configurable intervals for health checks and updates
• Auto-scaling: Dynamic provider list management with configurable thresholds

Setting up the Database

# Create the database
docker exec -it spark-db psql -U $env:UserName -c "CREATE DATABASE simple_subnet_api"

# Create the measurements table
docker exec -it spark-db psql -U $env:UserName -d simple_subnet_api -c "CREATE TABLE daily_measurements ( subnet VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, day DATE NOT NULL, total BIGINT DEFAULT 0, successful BIGINT DEFAULT 0, PRIMARY KEY (subnet, day) );"

# Verify table creation
docker exec -it spark-db psql -U $env:UserName -d simple_subnet_api -c "\dt"

# Check table contents
docker exec -it spark-db psql -U $env:UserName -d simple_subnet_api -c "SELECT * FROM daily_measurements;"

Setting up the API and Running the Subnet

# Set up the simple subnet API
cd simple-subnet-api
npm i
node bin/migrate.js
node bin./simple-subnet-api.js

# Run the Amon checker subnet
cd amon
zinnia run main.js
