# 4.2 Monitoring Your Node

### Understanding Node Output

Your node will output logs that include:

* Current slot number
* Number of blobs processed
* State root hash
* Any errors or warnings

Example output:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
[2023-06-15T10:30:15Z INFO  sov_rollup::runner] Slot 1234: Processed 5 blobs. New state root: 0x1a2b...
```

{% endcode %}

### Setting Up Monitoring Tools

1. Use Prometheus for metrics collection:
   * Install Prometheus
   * Configure it to scrape metrics from your Spicenet node
2. Set up Grafana for visualization:

   * Install Grafana
   * Create dashboards for key metrics like processed blobs, latency, and peer count
