Dear Council,

This tip is being proposed to Certhum a member of the Thousand Validator Programme for providing public dashboards that display resource usage of their validator nodes on [Kusama ](https://stats.certhum.com/kusama-certhum-maxstake-v03) and [Polkadot](https://stats.certhum.com/polkadot-certhum-maxstake-v01).  

While provision of same has marketing potential it also provides other validators with a reference to compare their own performance against.  This is extremely useful when troubleshooting performance after recent updates or for validators to gauge their relative resource usage.  CertHum has confirmed this community benefit as one of their objectives in their [public release](https://medium.com/certhum/certhum-maxstake-stats-f1f0609b03da) notes:

> ...we ran into situations where we would see issues with our node but couldn’t be sure if it was our configuration, our hosting provider, or a wider issues with the chain. We would have loved to have seen a site like this where we could check the vitals of another *sic* node on the network.

I have further asked CertHum to include the specifications of the validator machines used, any CLI flags used, to display the version of the polkadot binary and to note that INACTIVE/ACTIVE is in context of being in the active set.  They have complied with the request and I believe that these additions would further aid in using the resource as a performance reference.

Best Regards,
