Logging

Logging adds detail and allows the node operator to better identify what they are looking for. Tendermint supports log levels on a global and per-module basis. This allows the node operator to see only the information they need and the developer to hone in on specific changes they are working on.

Configuring Log Levels

There are three log levels, info, debug and error. These can be configured either through the command line via tendermint start --log-level "" or within the config.toml file.

  • info Info represents an informational message. It is used to show that modules have started, stopped and how they are functioning.
  • debug Debug is used to trace various calls or problems. Debug is used widely throughout a codebase and can lead to overly verbose logging.
  • error Error represents something that has gone wrong. An error log can represent a potential problem that can lead to a node halt.

Within the config.toml:

# Output level for logging, including package level options
log-level = "info"

Via the command line:

tendermint start --log-level "info"

List of modules

Here is the list of modules you may encounter in Tendermint's log and a little overview what they do.

  • abci-client As mentioned in Application Architecture Guide, Tendermint acts as an ABCI client with respect to the application and maintains 3 connections: mempool, consensus and query. The code used by Tendermint Core can be found here.
  • blockchain Provides storage, pool (a group of peers), and reactor for both storing and exchanging blocks between peers.
  • consensus The heart of Tendermint core, which is the implementation of the consensus algorithm. Includes two "submodules": wal (write-ahead logging) for ensuring data integrity and replay to replay blocks and messages on recovery from a crash. here. You can subscribe to them by calling subscribe RPC method. Refer to RPC docs for additional information.
  • mempool Mempool module handles all incoming transactions, whenever they are coming from peers or the application.
  • p2p Provides an abstraction around peer-to-peer communication. For more details, please check out the README.
  • rpc-server RPC server. For implementation details, please read the doc.go.
  • state Represents the latest state and execution submodule, which executes blocks against the application.
  • statesync Provides a way to quickly sync a node with pruned history.

Walkabout example

We first create three connections (mempool, consensus and query) to the application (running kvstore locally in this case).

I[10-04|13:54:27.364] Starting multiAppConn                        module=proxy impl=multiAppConn
I[10-04|13:54:27.366] Starting localClient                         module=abci-client connection=query impl=localClient
I[10-04|13:54:27.366] Starting localClient                         module=abci-client connection=mempool impl=localClient
I[10-04|13:54:27.367] Starting localClient                         module=abci-client connection=consensus impl=localClient

Then Tendermint Core and the application perform a handshake.

I[10-04|13:54:27.367] ABCI Handshake                               module=consensus appHeight=90 appHash=E0FBAFBF6FCED8B9786DDFEB1A0D4FA2501BADAD

After that, we start a few more things like the event switch, reactors, and perform UPNP discover in order to detect the IP address.

I[10-04|13:54:27.374] Starting EventSwitch                         module=types impl=EventSwitch

I[10-04|13:54:30.388] Starting TimeoutTicker                       module=consensus impl=TimeoutTicker

Notice the second row where Tendermint Core reports that "This node is a validator". It also could be just an observer (regular node).

Next we replay all the messages from the WAL.

I[10-04|13:54:30.390] Replay: Done                                 module=consensus

"Started node" message signals that everything is ready for work.

I[10-04|13:54:30.391] Starting RPC HTTP server on tcp socket 0.0.0.0:26657 module=rpc-server

Next follows a standard block creation cycle, where we enter a new round, propose a block, receive more than 2/3 of prevotes, then precommits and finally have a chance to commit a block. For details, please refer to Byzantine Consensus Algorithm.
