There are a collection of scripts in the cli
package's scripts
directory to aid in setting up an ephemeral testnet and seeding it with data and initial connections.
- Build all packages --
npm i
- Run the devnet script from
[repo root]/packages/cli
--npx tsx scripts/devnet.ts --numNodes=[Number of nodes to start]
- Observe logs to confirm nodes are running
- Press
Ctrl+c
to shutdown the devnet at any time
Notes: The nodes started by the script have a JSON-RPC server enabled. The port for the first is 8546 and ascends from there.
The devnet script starts each node up with a Prometheus metrics server running at the RPC port number + 10000. The seeder
script outputs a file called targets.json
with a list of targets to the current directory that can be provided to Prometheus for metric scraping. Add the below to your prometheus.yml
config file. Note that localhost:5051
points to the proxy and reports how many packets have been sent and how many dropped, assuming you provided a value on packet loss.
