List of failing nodes

This table includes a list of all nodes which were not able to answer to a getStatus API call within the specified timeout.

Node Uptime Statistics (7-day period)

This table shows how reliable nodes have been over the past week.

Token retrieval

This table shows how many token operations were processed by the node within the specified time. The nodes are ordered according to the number of operations processed.

Contract operations

This table shows how many contract operations were processed by the node within the specified time. The nodes are ordered according to the number of operations processed.

Account history operations

This table shows how many account history operations were processed by the node within the specified time. The nodes are ordered according to the number of operations processed.

Latency

This table shows the latency measurements for each node. The nodes are ordered according to average latency (lowest first).

Node Trends and Reliability

The following data shows trends over the past 7 days:

Node Uptime

Notable Trends

No significant trends detected in the past 7 days.

Node Consistency

This section shows how consistent each node's performance has been.
Lower standard deviation indicates more consistent performance.

NodeConsistency Score (lower is better)

Conclusion

This report provides a snapshot of Hive-Engine node performance. Users can use this information to select reliable nodes for their applications.

The benchmark data is also available in JSON format in the @flowerengine account's json_metadata for automated processing.

Interesting... didn't know about this. Some feedback!

  • Can you please indicate where you are making the calls (IP or country perhaps)... all benchmarks are relative to sources.
  • "were processed by the node within the specified time." - How much is this specified time?
  • It says "The following data shows trends over the past 7 days:" but then the number of runs shows 1... should it be instead the number of total successful runs in the 7 days divided by the total number of runs planned to do in 7 days?
  • Can you add the command being used to get "Latency" results? I am assuming it's just getStatus, but it's nice to have it clear. Same sort of thing for the other results.

Anyhow, my diagonal. Let me know what you think.

This is fantastic feedback!!!!!

(Its very new still, but will fill out 7 days...over next 7 days 😅)

Going to run from my server to see the difference... I was just watching the repo code now... and I think a couple of things will be massively different because of the total timeout being a limit on calls.

But hey, this is really cool! Love benchmarks because it's part of what I do in real life.

I'll try to answer the questions in order.

  • Frankfurt Germany - Digital Ocean Droplet
  • It should state that, since it's variable it was vague, but I'll clarify, but the standard tests are 30 second timeout / time limit
  • I was originally running it on my dev machine, That was the first run from the server, it should populate over the week. If it's still not right this time next week, will adjust as needed, but you are probably right, I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted the trends section to be, so if any of them need it badly, that's one that will get refactored.
  • Latency is the average time of 5 samples of:
start_time = time.time()
# Make a simple query to measure latency - use a lightweight call
api.find("tokens", "tokens", {"symbol": "SWAP.HIVE"}, limit=1)
latency = time.time() - start_time

I would love some more input, kind of went into this blindly, and the original intent was to do what we did with @nectarflower with @flowerengine, which was run a benchmark every hour and store the results in the account metadata.

curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"database_api.find_accounts", "params": {"accounts":["flowerengine"]}, "id":1}' https://api.hive.blog | jq '.result.accounts[0].json_metadata | fromjson' | jq '.nodes[]'

@nectarflower runs on the :00 minute mark, and @flowerengine runs on the :30 minute mark, to avoid clash. Both benchmarks take ~10 minutes to do all the servers.


Would absolutely be thrilled to get a PR if you see something that could be done better. Also, I am aware the head section of this post was printed twice, that should be fixed on the next run, don't know how I didn't catch that the first 20 times I ran it.

Thanks for the answers. I would love to do more PR's, but lately, time to reply is already a luxury. I will keep giving this a watch and provide any feedback, and if I find anyone keep on helping out, will point he/she in your direction.

I have noticed also you guys used python 3.13 (which is very recent). Would be nice to support older versions, but its not a problem if not. As in a few months, all pythons everywhere will be supporting 3.13 anyhow.

Just a thought.
