This allows it to perform well on embedded systems, resource-restricted devices -- including Raspberry Pis and mobile devices. + +However, resource-restricted hardware is not the only thing Nimbus is good for. Its low resource consumption makes it easy to run Nimbus together with other workloads on your server (this is especially valuable for eth2 stakers looking to lower the cost of their server instances). This book explains the ways in which you can use Nimbus to either monitor the eth2 chain or become a fully-fledged validator. diff --git a/docs/the_nimbus_book/src/metrics-pretty-pictures.md b/docs/the_nimbus_book/src/metrics-pretty-pictures.md index aaf82ffc3..304b07bdd 100644 --- a/docs/the_nimbus_book/src/metrics-pretty-pictures.md +++ b/docs/the_nimbus_book/src/metrics-pretty-pictures.md @@ -99,6 +99,12 @@ Then run Prometheus: prometheus --config.file=./prometheus.yml --storage.tsdb.path=./prometheus ``` +You should see the following confirmation in the logs: + +``` +level=info ts=2021-01-22T14:52:10.604Z caller=main.go:673 msg="Server is ready to receive web requests." +``` + #### 4.
