Running a Node
TODO: Improve documentation of
gaiad
Basics
To start a node:
$ gaiad start <flags>
Options for running the gaiad binary are effectively the same as for tendermint.
See gaiad --help and the
guide to using Tendermint
for more details.
Debugging
Optionally, you can run gaiad with --trace-store to trace all store operations
to a specified file.
$ gaiad start <flags> --trace-store=/path/to/trace.out
Key/value pairs will be base64 encoded. Additionally, the block number and any correlated transaction hash will be included as metadata.
e.g.
...
{"operation":"write","key":"ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR","value":"BggEEBYgFg==","metadata":{"blockHeight":12,"txHash":"5AAC197EC45E6C5DE0798C4A4E2F54BBB695CA9E"}}
{"operation":"write","key":"AjW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPRCgAAAAAAAAA=","value":"AQE=","metadata":{"blockHeight":12,"txHash":"5AAC197EC45E6C5DE0798C4A4E2F54BBB695CA9E"}}
{"operation":"read","key":"ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR","value":"BggEEBYgFg==","metadata":{"blockHeight":13}}
{"operation":"read","key":"AjW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPRCwAAAAAAAAA=","value":"","metadata":{"blockHeight":13}}
...
You can then query for the various traced operations using a tool like jq.
$ jq -s '.[] | select((.key=="ATW6Bu997eeuUeRBwv1EPGvXRfPR") and .metadata.blockHeight==14)' /path/to/trace.out
