Bot for measuring latency of whisper messages

P2P Health checking bot

---

This bot measures latency for Status messages (complete roundtrip).

It operates in two modes: sender and receiver. Sends sends health check messages periodically, and tracks responses from receiver bot.

Installation

go get github.com/status-im/p2p-health-bot

You may also want to run dep ensure to use deps versions used at the moment of writing package.

Usage

First node

Start statusd:

./statusd -shh=true -standalone=false -http=true -status=http -networkid=1

Then, start bot in a sender mode:

p2p-health-bot

Second node

Start statusd (make sure, it's the same network):

./statusd -shh=true -standalone=false -http=true -status=http -networkid=1

Then, start bot in a receiver mode:

p2p-health-bot -send=false

See p2p-health-bot --help for more options.

Metrics

Metrics are exposed in Prometheus format on /metrics endpoint of sender node only. Default listen port is 8008. Use -statsPort flag to change it.

Currently exposed metrics:

• msgs_sent
• msgs_received
• msgs_responses_latency

Latency is in milliseconds.

Deployment

This software is deployed via Docker image built with Dockerfile ran from the Makefile. The image is then pushed to: https://hub.docker.com/r/statusteam/p2p-health-bot/
