Problem monitoring geth instance

Question

I've created a private Ethereum network and initialized the geth instance. Now I want to monitor it, So I tried running the following command:

geth monitor --attach /path/to/geth.ipc 

but I am getting this error:

Fatal: Metric pattern trie/cachemiss resolved to unexpected type: string

How to start monitoring geth?

Answer 1

Try the following command:

geth monitor --attach ./chain-data/geth.ipc system/memory/allocs/AvgRate05Min

To monitor geth, geth attach must be started with metrics. So when you use the metrics used in the above command, the error is solved.
