This is a simple contract that helps verifying that the watch script is monitoring the network and sending notifications.
So, if you need to create a dummy transaction without sending any tokens, just do:
alias mcleos='cleos -u http://mainnet.eoscalgary.io'
mcleos push action watchdoggiee ping '["FROMACCOUNT", "TOACCOUNT", "hello world"]' -p FROMACCOUNT
As a result, both accounts will have this "ping" transaction in their history of actions.
Due to excessive use of this contract for sending mass notifications, each sender is limited to 1000 messages. Extending the limit is possible if you contact me at Telegram: @cc32d9
This action is designed for monitoring purpose: a monitoring script can set a key-value pair and verify its result in the EOS network. The sender has to have a special permission "watchdog", and the sender pays for RAM.
alias mcleos='cleos -u http://mainnet.eoscalgary.io'
mcleos set account permission MYACCOUNT watchdog EOS8C9tb8QQhZet6WWcYFCWDKHYfjC3W59ugHCD63s7LLDQx6JsNK
mcleos set action permission MYACCOUNT watchdoggiee setkv watchdog
mcleos set action permission MYACCOUNT watchdoggiee delkv watchdog
mcleos push action watchdoggiee setkv '["MYACCOUNT", "777", "777"]' -p MYACCOUNT@watchdog
mcleos get table watchdoggiee MYACCOUNT kvs
The action deletes a corresponding key-value pair
mcleos push action watchdoggiee delkv '["MYACCOUNT", "777"]' -p MYACCOUNT@watchdog
mcleos get table watchdoggiee MYACCOUNT kvs
I developed a number of Nagios plugins for nodeos health monitoring:
https://github.com/cc32d9/eos-nagios-plugins
The check_eos_watchdoggiee plugin is sending a transaction using one
API URL, and reading its result using another API URL. It will alert if
the result of transaction is not visible within the time limit, and it
usually means that your nodeos is disconnected from the network or
malfunctioning.
