basectl monitor: interactive terminal dashboard

Open live terminal dashboards for Base block production, node sync, Flashblocks, data availability, conductor clusters, and network upgrades with basectl monitor.

basectl monitor opens an interactive dashboard in your terminal. Run it with no subcommand to open the Home view. The badge in the top-right corner shows which execution-layer (EL) and consensus-layer (CL) endpoints are active.

Press e from any view (except text-input views) to switch the EL endpoint between your configured local node (rpc) and the hosted public endpoint (public_rpc). The CL endpoint stays the same. When you switch, the dashboard reconnects its live data to the endpoint you picked.

Views

Open a specific view by adding its name (or short alias) after monitor:

Command	Alias	Description
monitor		Home view.
monitor conductor	co	Conductor cluster status.
monitor da	d	Data-availability (DA) backlog.
monitor flashblocks	f	Live Flashblocks.
monitor command-center	cc	Combined view of several panels.
monitor upgrades	u	Countdown to the next network upgrade, plus upgrade history.
monitor config	c	The active network configuration.

Pods view

basectl monitor pods shows the status of your Kubernetes pods, grouped as defined in a local config file. Keep environment-specific values (names, namespaces, contexts, and URLs) in your own local config; the public tool only defines the general structure.

network-config.yaml

pods:
  refresh_interval_ms: 1000
  groups:
    - alias: example
      label: Example
      context: example-context
      namespace: example-namespace

Examples

Open the dashboard

# Open the Home view on mainnet
basectl monitor

# Open the dashboard on a local devnet
basectl -c devnet monitor

# Open the conductor cluster view directly
basectl monitor conductor
