Cypherglass Announces Windshield
A dashboard tool for monitoring internal Block Producer infrastructure.
In an effort to insure that Block Producers are able to maintain a stable environment for the EOS community, Cypherglass has released the open source tool Windshield. This tool was designed to run inside a Block Producer’s firewall. With access to all the BP’s internal nodes, it will alert the BP to issues with their nodes that might not otherwise be apparent.
