<h3>Issues Encountered</h3>
<p><strong>Issue 1:</strong><br>
On July 22nd, fl3mmribyxgrv63c was behind on the DAO state head. See the <a href="https://monitor.bisq.network/d/iVpBgXXmk/dao-sync-status?orgId=1&panelId=16&fullscreen&from=1563804000000&to=1563832800000" rel="nofollow">monitor</a> for more details. The issue appeared to be caused by not having swap enabled on that machine and the memory usage was maxed out. To resolve it, I added swap space to the machine and restarted the seed.</p>
<p><strong>Issue 2:</strong><br>
On Aug 7, 3f3cu2yw7u457ztq was behind on the DAO state head. See the <a href="https://monitor.bisq.network/d/iVpBgXXmk/dao-sync-status?orgId=1&panelId=16&fullscreen&from=1565074800000&to=1565121600000" rel="nofollow">monitor</a> for more details. The issue appeared to be a swap space issue again - it was maxed out at 512 MB. As a result, I increased swap space on all my seeds to 4 GB to ensure plenty of space.</p>
<h3>Maintenance Performed</h3>
<p>On Aug 6 I updated all my mainnet seed nodes to Manfred's <a href="https://github.com/ManfredKarrer/bisq/commit/0e212681b76d0b3aa53a10929e65c4c4990c3ece">branch</a> to apply a hotfix.</p>
<p>I plan to update my seed nodes to follow the <a href="https://docs.bisq.network/exchange/howto/run-seednode.html" rel="nofollow">updated document</a> from Florian to ensure a consistent setup. Once that is done, I will organize a backup operator in case I am unavailable for maintenance.</p>
<h3>Expenses Incurred</h3>
<p>Expenses incurred for the month (USD):</p>
<ul>
<li>4 x $20 for server (2 CPU, 4 GB RAM)</li>
<li>3 x $30 for storage (300 GB)<br>
<em><strong>Note:</strong> The testnet seed node does not require additional storage, unlike the mainnet seed nodes.</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Total:</strong> $170</p>
