Is my BP node running normal?

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
1

Hi folks, I’ve set up a BP node since April 22, and it remained online for most of the time. I am also assuming here it is just luck not in my favour or too little stakes that my BP never got a chance to mint a block, or maybe it is something misconfiguration on my part. So I wanted to ask this is my node running correctly.

> cardano-cli query kes-period-info

outputs

{
    "qKesCurrentKesPeriod": 556,
    "qKesEndKesInterval": 610,
    "qKesKesKeyExpiry": null,
    "qKesMaxKESEvolutions": 62,
    "qKesNodeStateOperationalCertificateNumber": null,
    "qKesOnDiskOperationalCertificateNumber": 0,
    "qKesRemainingSlotsInKesPeriod": 6957543,
    "qKesSlotsPerKesPeriod": 129600,
    "qKesStartKesInterval": 548
}

There seems to be few Missed slot leader
Any suggestions?

hi,

missed slots is related to RAM, you can find other topics about

from your glive output I can see 0 incoming peers which is not ok (u must have your relay/s as incoming peers)

Cheers,

What’s your ticker? Are you running the leader checks each epoch?

Not I don’t think I am running any leader checks. I m using cntools.

After having read your post (@Alexd1985), I’ve updated topologyUpdater.sh from my Relay node and set CUSTOM_PEERS to my BP node. Now the is an incoming connection.

Yes, relay has many connections both incomming and outgoing, including from my BP internal IP address.

With 1.66k stake you have VERY VERY low chances of minting a block.
Anyway, you should check the leaderlogs each epoch to be sure.

Thank you for confirming the fact that with such a low stake there is almost negligible chance of minting a block. My primary concern was whether I’m doing it right or wrong.

The best way to see if you are doing things right is to create a stake pool on testnet and run it for some time.
