Network Debugger

This section is still a work in progress. It will cover nodes running with the network debugger for network analysis and troubleshooting.

Network debugger usage in the dashboard

The network debugger is a separate sidecar service that runs alongside your node. It captures and stores detailed network traffic data that the Node Dashboard uses for network analysis and troubleshooting.

The dashboard consumes the network debugger's API to visualize:

  • Block propagation messages and timing analysis
  • Network message inspection with filtering
  • Connection management and monitoring
  • Message decryption statistics
  • Low-level protocol debugging (hex dumps)

For API details, see the Debugger API endpoints section in the API reference.
