I attached a screenshot showing my block producer node currently. Do the settings look correct? I’m just a bit concerned cause I see the disk showing 2 and the chain showing 1? will I still mint a block correctly like this? Or did I mess up on my .counter file when I created the new KES certificates?
Also I noticed it’s not showing any pending transactions for some reason, but I have the incoming and outgoing to me relays correct and they show transactions. It could be though because I had tracemempool = false for the block producer node and not the others maybe?
Yes, kes looks right. It will increase on chain when you mint on the new cert.
And if you have trace mempool false, then you won’t see the transaction count. Which is fine for the BP. It helps keep the resource requirements down.

By the way @Gentleman_Goat , the counter on gLiveView won’t update automatically for the chain cert number after you mint a block. You’ll need to restart it to see the new count come through (just happened to me)

That is good to know I would have thought I did something wrong. Speaking of which is there a faster way to restart the nodes without that super long verification process?
It may be due to a poor shutdown. How are you shutting down the nodes?
I am running them inside a docker container for consistency of installation, I can share the exact details here if you want? In short when I shut it down I am doing a docker compose down to bring the containers down which brings the cardano node down, I try to send proper kill signals as well but maybe I am doing something wrong. I will try sharing my exact process here in a few hours when I am not texting on the phone :). I will ping you to take a look. Much appreciated man!
