Uptime

To maximize uptime, validators should set up a backup node. To prevent double signing, dedicated Tendermint node signers such as tmkms or horcrux can be used.
If you’re new to running a validator, it's recommended to start out with tmkms to get your feet wet then ultimately make the jump to horcrux after you have a better understanding of cosmos infrastructure.
Monitoring Tools
A popular uptime monitoring tool for Tendermint chains like Canto is TenderDuty. To get started, follow these steps:
1.Install tenderduty per the official docs based on your preference (Docker or systemd).
2.Edit config.yml based on your validator and preferences:
Name the chain "Canto"
Add chain ID (canto_7700-1 for mainnet)
Add your valoper address (using cantod keys show <keyname> -a --bech val)
Get relevant API keys (Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty) and set your alert config
3.Finally, start the service per the docs.
An alternative monitoring tool is PANIC.
