I was wondering what, if any, software you use for monitoring your relays. It would be nice if I could get an email when the Tor daemon crashes, and maybe another every night telling me about bandwidth used, average speed, etc.

For notifications about when your relay is down you can use tor weather...

... and for relay monitoring some common options are vidalia and arm...

For external monitoring, I wrote a Nagios check using Stem. It is available at:

I just have my nodes mail me every hour with a message like below. Generated by making this script launch from crontab. Of course it also needs 'vnstat' installed and running. ------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash vnstat -h echo -e "\nMonths:" vnstat -m | grep -v -e estimated -e month -e "^$" | tac echo -e "\nDays:" vnstat -d | grep -v -e estimated -e daily -e day -e "^$" | tac
