ETCMC Uptime push

This is a simple python script which will check if your ETCMC process is running and if there is a change in etcpow_balance.txt.enc file recently

Setup

• Download to your node the latest etcmc_push.exe and etcmc_push_config_sample.json from the repository releases and extract the archive
• Rename etcmc_push_config_sample.json to etcmc_push_config.json and make sure it is in the same directory with etcmc_push.exe
• Make sure the path set in etcpowBalanceFile variable in your etcmc_push_config.json file is the correct full path to etcpow_balance.txt.enc. By default, it can be one of those:
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\ETCMC ETC NODE LAUNCHER 1920x1080\ETCMC_GUI\ETCMC_GETH\etcpow_balance.txt.enc
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\ETCMC ETC NODE LAUNCHER 1024x600\ETCMC_GUI\ETCMC_GETH\etcpow_balance.txt.enc

Option 1: Use with Uptime Kuma

• You should have Uptime Kuma installed up and running
• Add New Monitor in Uptime Kuma, choosing Push for Monitor type
• Copy the generated Push URL from Uptime Kuma monitor in your etcmc_push_config.json file, replacing the value for uptimeEndpoint variable

Option 2: Use with Healthchecks.io

• Signup and create a project in Healthchecks.io
• Add Check (For example: with period 2min and grace 2min)
• Copy the generated Ping URL in your etcmc_push_config.json file, replacing the value for uptimeEndpoint variable

How to use

• After setting uptimeEndpoint, just double-click on etcmc_push.exe to start it and leave the console running

Additional options

• If you want you can change number of minutes, which will be compared to etcpow_balance.txt.enc file last modification date. Do it by changing the etcpowBalanceMinutes variable in your etcmc_push_config.py script. Default value is 2 minutes
• If you want to set how often the script will check that the node is running properly, you can by editing the secondsBetweenChecks value in your etcmc_push_config.py script. Default value is 60 seconds

Optionally you can manually install and run the script, with these steps

• Install python on your device
• Make sure to have python and pip loaded in your path variables
• Install psutil library with pip (pip install psutil)
• Clone the repository or download the src/etcmc_push.py script and src/etcmc_push_config_sample.json
• Rename etcmc_push_config_sample.json to etcmc_push_config.json and make sure it is in the same directory with etcmc_push.py
• If needed change the path defined in etcpowBalanceFile variable in your etcmc_push_config.json file, to be the correct full path to etcpow_balance.txt.enc
