Node stats

[ziggybtc9]

So I've been running a (pruned) node for about a week. All the status related functions (getinfo, getnettotals, getnetworkinfo etc), as well as wallet operations and all seem to be working ok.

When I'm watching debug.log, I don't see a lot takes place though. I can mostly see the regular UpdateTip messages, and similar "housekeeping" notifications, but not much more.

How can I figure out more about what my node is doing? if it verifies transactions sent from elsewhere, is it logged anywhere? I can see the mempool, that's ok, but is there a deeper level of monitoring that can be done?

Since you are not running a full node, it only shares with the other nodes the blocks you are temporarily holding. Your node verifies transactions and blocks received from other nodes all the time. I don't think that you can monitor it closer than the commands you mentioned.

Edit: Actually, you might be interested in this. I am not sure if you added 'debug=1' to your startup parameters.

Thanks, I also just discovered now how to set specific logging with bitcoin-cli, for example:

Code:

bitcoin-cli logging "[\"all\"]" "[\"tor\"]"

includes all categories, except tor.
