Summary
Canton Vitals lets validator operators see whether their node is operating within explicit healthy ranges, and whether each problem is security-relevant or operational. It evaluates validator metrics against versioned thresholds and consequences, using the existing Prometheus/Grafana stack rather than introducing a new monitoring system. It is the runtime-health module of the open-source Canton Validator Reliability Suite.
