Votalizer

The votalizer uses the Solana RPC PubSub WebSocket Endpoint to monitor validator votes in real time.

If a lockout violation is detected, an incident log file is created with details.

Note that some of the transaction signatures in an incident log file may not be available on http://explorer.solana.com. This occurs specifically when a transaction lands in a non-finalized fork.

To be notified by Slack when an incident occurs, export your desired Slack webhook to the environment before running the votalizer:

export SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/...

To be notified by Discord when an incident occurs, export your desired Discord webhook to the environment before running the votalizer:

export DISCORD_WEBHOOK=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...
export DISCORD_USERNAME=username_to_show_in_message

RPC Node Requirements

The RPC node used by the votalizer must be configured with the --full-rpc-api and --rpc-pubsub-enable-vote-subscription flags.

It's easiest if you just run the votalizer on the same host as your RPC node, and by default the votalizer will already attempt to connect to localhost.
