This is currently how it works under the hood:
- Connect your wallet -> Select the server you want to monitor -> Choose a geographic focus (specific cities, countries, or entire continents) for Checkmate to send ping messages.
While managing large volumes of data isn’t an issue at this stage, visualization remains a challenge. We’ve implemented MapLibre to display the data, giving users the flexibility to send one-off ping requests to the DePIN network or schedule continuous checks (e.g., every minute).
Given the novelty of this concept (similar to RIPE Atlas), visualizations will play a critical role for admins. Here's what we can currently offer on the dashboard:
- Node distribution on a map: Visualize the number of nodes per country.
- Selective probing: Choose probes directly on the map.
- Probe details: View all probes selected for a specific server.
- One-off ping tests: Perform immediate connectivity checks.
I need some feedback on how to move ahead. Since we are just a few weeks away from the general release, it would be great if I could get some thoughts. We’re considering whether this is the right balance of features or if adjustments are needed.
My immediate questions would be:
- If you had access to a global DePIN network for server monitoring, what would you prioritize seeing on the dashboard?
- Would you be interested in seeing historical logs? Like access logs going back to a specific time.
- would you want to customize packet size? (set the size of the packets being sent).
Probably there are others upcoming but I would like to start with a small UI set initially.
