+# Network stats and monitoring
+
+eth2stats is a network monitoring suite for your beacon node + validator client.
+
+It consists of a [command-line-interface](https://github.com/Alethio/eth2stats-client) (to help you query your node's API), and an [associated website](https://eth2stats.io/medalla-testnet)(which allows you to monitor your node from anywhere).
+
+In this guide we'll take you through how to get eth2stats running on your local machine, and how to hook your node up to the website.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Knowledge of both [git](https://www.learnenough.com/git-tutorial/getting_started) and [command line basics](https://www.learnenough.com/command-line-tutorial/basics), and a working [Golang](https://golang.org/dl/) environment.
+
+## Guide
+
+### 1. Clone the eth2stats repository
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Alethio/eth2stats-client.git
+```
+
+### 2. Move into the repository
+
+```
+cd eth2stats-client
+```
+
+### 3. Build the executable
+
+```
+make build
+```
+
+### 4. Add your node to eth2stats.io
+
+
+#### 1. Click on add node

+
+### 5. Run your node with metrics enabled
+
+From your `nimbus-eth2` repository, run:
+```
+make NIMFLAGS="-d:insecure" medalla
+```
+
+### 6. Run eth2stats
+
+From your `eth2stats-client` repository, **run the command you copied in step 4.3:**
+```
+./eth2stats-client run --eth2stats.node-name="roger" --data.folder ~/.eth2stats/data --eth2stats.addr="grpc.medalla.eth2stats.io:443" --eth2stats.tls=true --beacon.type="nimbus" --beacon.addr="http://localhost:9190" --beacon.metrics-addr="http://localhost:8008/metrics"
+```
+
+Your node should now be displayed on eth2stats.io :)
