I have configured my BPN node to talk with ONLy my relay node on port 6000. I have also allowed the firewall to accept incoming connections from the relay on 2 other ports for prometheus and grafana monitoring purposes. Other than that there is NOTHING. So how does my BPN show 3 IN peers??? I can only imagine that it is also calculating the two connections on the other ports for monitoring?

Nope, press P in glive and check what IPs are thereā¦ mine sometimes shows 3 but after pressing P always come back to 2
This is what it is showing. Is something wrong here?
Hi!
That is strange something in your own machineā¦
to figure it out which process using that connection use this command:
sudo netstat -napot
good - so two cardano-node process connects to your node - two relays on the same machine
I only have 1 relay which is a separate node. I think it may be the cncli-sync and cncli-sendtip service I have running on my BPN. i just recently created those as per the coincashew guide recommendation. Thoughts?
hmm - good assumption!
let me check my nodeā¦
I think that was it. I stopped those services and the monitor is now showing 1 IN
I am using sendtip and not showing to IN peers
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3001 127.0.0.1:31194 ESTABLISHED 6012/cardano-node off
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:31194 127.0.0.1:3001 ESTABLISHED 49044/cncli keepalive (7.29/0/0)
yes, I have this as well. So looks everything fine.
Hmm, what about the other service, cncli-sync?
interesting - sendtip can also make a connection to get the actual height, then sending it out to pooltoolā¦ but I dont have that process on my node to checkā¦
cncli-sync is definitely starting a cardano-nodeā¦
ps -ef | grep cardano-node
you will get the info about the process, like
user 49269 47634 0 23:16 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto cardano-node
the 3rd column is the group process id - search it, and you will get the process which started the cardano-node
ps -ef | grep 47634
user 49267 47634 35 23:16 pts/0 00:00:09 cncli sync --host 127.0.0.1 -p 3001
