Launchpad - quick question

Beginners
1

Could someone let me know the meaning of the data in Launchpad please.

Mb - with arrow up and arrow down. I assume that is bandwidth usage, but what is the unit? Am sure one of my nodes is not using 400 Mbps.

Recs
Peers
Conns

I’d post a screenshot, but it seems not allowed in here.

It is Mbps - it was likely only momentarily using that much

AIUI the meanings are

Recs – records stored - whether relevant or not
Peers – as it says, the other nodes your nodes know about and are talking to
Conns – connections - all the other nodes your nodes know about

Screenshots should not be a problem - just use your snipping tool (Is that still a Windows thing?) or other desktop screenshot tool and paste in directly with Ctrl-V

Should be allowed. The types of files are limited by discourse.

Recs
There are two types of values that recs could be.

  • records being held in records_store directory that the node could retrieve if asked.
  • records the node is responsible to hold, these are records that the node is one of the closest 5 nodes to (XOR address space)

If recs is around 20-50 at the moment then its probably the responsible records. If in many hundreds to thousands then its all records held.

Peers
Previously this was an instantaneous figure which really was connections. But now that connections (conns) is a figure being shown then ‘Peers’ should be the routing table peers and the ones the node will maintain a connection to. Typically around the 200 mark and fairly steady changing only by a few.

Conns
Just the number of connections the node has at the moment of status. This can vary from a hundred or so to thousands at any particular time.

Thank you both for the clarification.
