Automated Node Monitoring and Upgrade Instructions

The monitoring feature constantly tracks your node’s current block height and compares it with a specified target height. When the node reaches or exceeds the target height, an automatic upgrade will be performed using 'cosmovisor'. The system ensures that upgrades are not performed redundantly by checking if an upgrade has already been completed at that block height.

Important Considerations

• - System Modifications : This installer will make changes to your system configuration. Please review these changes before proceeding.

• - Log and Sync Checks: To return to the main menu while checking logs or sync status, you may need to interrupt the process with 'Ctrl+C'.

• - Upgrades: When scheduling a client upgrade, ensure you have the correct upgrade link, version, and the designated block height to avoid misconfigurations.

• - Automated Upgrades: Ensure the correct block height and upgrade parameters are configured for the automatic upgrade feature to work as intended.
