Tron Monitor

Tron Monitor is a monitoring script built in Powershell to check and monitor that your SR Node is producing blocks. The script will send an email alert to you if your node hasn't produced blocks for over 2 minutes. This will be most useful for Tron Super Representatives & Tron Super Representative Candidates, although anyone running a Tron Node can use it to prepare themselves for being voted into top 27 as an SR.

How to use

You are not obligated to run the tron-monitor script on the same system that runs your witness node. Firstly, you will need to install powershell on the machine which you choose to monitor your java-tron witness node from.
