Account Monitor
Introduction
Server-side component which automatically will transfer IGNIS or other child chain tokens, ASSET or CURRENCY from a funding account to recipient accounts when the amount held by the recipient account drops below a set threshold. The transfer will not be done until the current block height is greater than equal to the block height of the last transfer plus the interval.
The funding account is identified by your secret phrase.
The recipient accounts are identified by specified Account Properties. Each account that has this property set by the funding account will be monitored for changes.
This feature is useful to make sure the account owners always poses enough tokens to transact.
Funding monitors, like other similar local node tools like standby shufflers or bundlers, are not persisted across node reboots. Check the Processes feature for an easy-to-use and secure tool to help you with recovering the configuration upon node restart.
