Update grafana metrics when updating to cardano-node 1.25.1

Cardano's [CAFE] and [CAFE2] are updated to newest version 1.25.1. For all stake pool operators (SPOs) it is important to know that with release of 1.25.1 the mainnet-config.json in the repository of CF / IOHK was consolidated and is a lot slimmer than previous! Some names of statistic variables have changed. In most cases the wording "ChainDB_" was removed. So be sure to update your grafana dashboard so that you can still enjoy your statistics after update to 1.25.1.

Here are a few examples:

Old New (1.25.1)
cardano_node_ChainDB_metrics_blockNum_int cardano_node_metrics_blockNum_int
cardano_node_metrics_ChainDB_blockNum_int
cardano_node_ChainDB_metrics_epoch_int cardano_node_metrics_epoch_int
cardano_node_metrics_ChainDB_epoch_int
cardano_node_ChainDB_metrics_slotNum_int cardano_node_metrics_slotNum_int
cardano_node_metrics_ChainDB_slotNum_int
cardano_node_ChainDB_metrics_density_real cardano_node_metrics_density_real
cardano_node_metrics_ChainDB_density_real
cardano_node_ChainDB_metrics_slotInEpoch_int cardano_node_metrics_slotInEpoch_int
cardano_node_metrics_ChainDB_slotInEpoch_int

Personally, I also think it's very useful to show the connected peers count which is not included in the default grafana dashboard of IOHK / CF. You can view it by cardano_node_metrics_connectedPeers_int. Another very useful information is the status of your time synchronization node_timex_maxerror_seconds. And last but not least, the Free Disk Space in Percent might be helpful especially to those who are running Cardano-Node on a rather small VPS: ((node_filesystem_avail_bytes{mountpoint="/",fstype!="rootfs"} * 100) / node_filesystem_size_bytes{mountpoint="/",fstype!="rootfs"})

Enjoy!

I also would like to send thankful greetings to Marcel of FAIR pool and Falko of PaC_Pool for contributing to this blogposting.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: The Last Of The Polymath Geniuses
I wrote about the great genius Geralomo Cardano in an earlier post. He was what we call a "Polymath", which was a common description of early scientists and mathematicians before the concept of "academic specialization" became the normal path to follow. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is considered to be one of the last great Polymaths, and for good reason.

A.T. and A.I.
Anyone who has studied the history of computer science and cryptography will be familiar with the terms, "Turing Complete", and "Turing Machine". These terms were coined due to the influence Alan Turing had before computers as we know them existed. His brilliant solution to breaking the Nazi's Enigma coding machine during WWII has been well documented in multiple books and films. However, just before his untimely death in 1954 at age 42, (69 years ago) he correctly foretold the potential of what we now call, "AI", and the disruption it would cause in our own time.

What is ESG?
Most of us agree that businesses should apply the basic concepts of ESG to reduce environmental stress on the earth and to encourage like-minded individuals to invest in those companies. Here is a basic description of ESG principles, and an observation on the backlash that has arisen in opposition to them.

Charles Hoskinson
Everything relating to Cardano can be traced back to its co-founders: Charles Hoskinson and Jeremy Wood. I highlighted Jeremy Wood in one of my recent posts, and now I will attempt to illuminate some of the important facts about Charles Hoskinson and his broad sweeping vision for Cardano and the world.

Voltaire
The Vasil hard fork has ushered us into “Basho”, the next-to-last era of the Cardano Roadmap. Soon we will enter into the final era, "Voltaire", planned from the very beginning of Cardano’s journey and development. This post is about Voltaire himself, one of the most advanced intellects of all time. His influence on the way we look at the world and the way we think about our world cannot be overstated. However, the scope of his writings and pursuits combined with the many places he lived during his lifetime cannot be covered in a blog post. Therefore I am touching upon the more important points of his life and work, leaving a deeper investigation up to you, the reader.
