It depends on what you consider “professional” monitoring. Do you mean information collected, or how was it collected?
Is measuring something from the tor process using bash scripts and cron professional? Is measuring network traffic using Prometheus and plotting to Grafana professional?
For a few nodes I control / controlled I measured lots of network info such as:
- Network Traffic in / out (b/s) - Network Packets in / out (p/s) - Network Flows in / out (f/s)
And I always run a local resolver, so DNS info too:
- Query Responses / Second - Query Latency - SERVFAILs / Second
The DNS info was gathered only in one node, as an experiment, since I wasn’t sure whether it could leak information, and only for a limited amount of time.
Would be interested however to see what you’re building!

Hello,
I'm reopening this thread as I would like to do some "professional" monitoring on my relays and working on a solution that could be helpful to other relay operators running few relays or don't want to go into the hassle of deploying a monitoring system.
My idea is to deploy a monitoring system that can support monitoring not only for my relays and friends relays (people who trust me) but also to other relays that have no time or resources to monitor their relays.
Any suggestions, thoughts, comments and especially a 'I/we did X and succeed/failed' are greatly appreciated.
