WoopChain Query Operator Information

WoopChain How to query operator information.

Prerequisites

A functioning node is required in order to query any kind of operator information. With the WoopChain, node operators are in control and informed about what the node they're operating is doing. At any time, they can use the node information layer, built on top of gRPC, and get meaningful information - no log sifting required.

If your node isn't running on 127.0.0.1:8545 you should add a flag --grpc-address address:port to the commands listed in this document.

Peer information

Peers list

To get a complete list of connected peers (including the running node itself), run the following command:

  
woop peers list
  

This will return a list of libp2p addresses that are currently peers of the running client.

Peer status

For the status of a specific peer, run:

  
woop peers status --peer-id < address >
  

With the address parameter being the libp2p address of the peer.

IBFT info

Lots of times, an operator might want to know about the state of the operating node in IBFT consensus. Luckily,
the WoopChain provides an easy way to find this information.

Snapshots

Running the following command returns the most recent snapshot.

  
woop ibft snapshot
  

To query the snapshot at a specific height (block number), the operator can run:

  
woop ibft snapshot --num < block-number >
  

Candidates

To get the latest info on candidates, the operator can run:

  
woop ibft candidates
  

This command queries the current set of proposed candidates, as well as candidates that have not been included yet

Status

The following command returns the current validator key of the running IBFT client:

  
woop ibft status
  

Transaction pool

To find the current number of transactions in the transaction pool, the operator can run:

  
woop txpool status
