# Debugging Pantheon
|
|
|
|
## Command Line Options Not Working as Expected
|
|
|
|
Characters such as smart quotes and long (em) hyphens won't work in Pantheon options. Ensure that quotes have
|
|
not been automatically converted to smart quotes or that double hyphens have not been combined into em hyphens.
|
|
|
|
## Monitor Node Performance and Connectivity Using the JSON-RPC API
|
|
|
|
You can monitor node performance using the [`debug_metrics`](../Reference/JSON-RPC-API-Methods.md#debug_metrics)
|
|
JSON-RPC API method.
|
|
|
|
## Monitor Node Performance Using Third-Party Clients
|
|
|
|
Use the [`--metrics-enabled` option](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#metrics-enabled) to enable the [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) monitoring and
|
|
alerting service to access Pantheon metrics. You can also visualize the collected data using [Grafana](https://grafana.com/).
|
|
|
|
While Prometheus is running, it consumes the Pantheon data directly for monitoring. To specify the host and port on which
|
|
Prometheus accesses Pantheon, use the [`--metrics-listen` option](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#metrics-listen).
|
|
The default host and port are 127.0.0.1:9545.
|
|
|
|
You can install other Prometheus components such as the Alert Manager. Additional configuration
|
|
is not required for these components because Prometheus handles and analyzes data directly from the feed.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of setting up and running Prometheus with Pantheon:
|
|
|
|
1. Install the [prometheus main component](https://prometheus.io/download/). On MacOS you can install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/):
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install prometheus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Configure Prometheus to poll Pantheon. For example, add the following yaml fragment to the `scrape_configs`
|
|
block of the `prometheus.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yml tab="Example"
|
|
job_name: pantheon-dev
|
|
scrape_interval: 15s
|
|
scrape_timeout: 10s
|
|
metrics_path: /metrics
|
|
scheme: http
|
|
static_configs:
|
|
- targets:
|
|
- localhost:9545
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
The [`--host-whitelist` option](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#host-whitelist) defaults to `localhost`.
|
|
If `127.0.0.1` is specified instead of `localhost` in the `prometheus.yml` file, add `127.0.0.1` to the host whitelist
|
|
using [`--host-whitelist`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#host-whitelist) when starting Pantheon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Start Pantheon with the [`--metrics-enabled` option](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#metrics-enabled). To start
|
|
a single node for testing with metrics enabled:
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="Example"
|
|
pantheon --dev-mode --network-id="2018" --miner-enabled --miner-coinbase fe3b557e8fb62b89f4916b721be55ceb828dbd73
|
|
--rpc-cors-origins="all" --rpc-enabled --metrics-enabled
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. In another terminal, run Prometheus specifying the `prometheus.yml` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash tab="Example"
|
|
prometheus --config.file=config.yml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Open a web browser to `http://localhost:9090` to view the Prometheus graphical interface.
|
|
|
|
6. Choose **Graph** from the menu bar and click the **Console** tab below.
|
|
|
|
7. From the **Insert metric at cursor** drop-down, select a metric such as `pantheon_blockchain_difficulty_total` or
|
|
`pantheon_blockchain_height` and click **Execute**. The values are displayed below.
|
|
|
|
Click the **Graph** tab to view the data as a time-based graph. The query string is displayed below the graph.
|
|
For example: `{pantheon_blockchain_height{instance="localhost:9545",job="prometheus"}`
|
