Provide Stats
The ipfs provide stat command gives you statistics about your local provide
system. This file provides a detailed explanation of the metrics reported by
this command.
Connectivity
Status
Current connectivity status (online, disconnected, or offline) and when
it last changed (see provide connectivity
status).
Queues
Provide queue
Number of CIDs waiting for initial provide, and the number of keyspace regions they're grouped into.
Reprovide queue
Number of regions with overdue reprovides. These regions missed their scheduled
reprovide time and will be processed as soon as possible. If decreasing, the
node is recovering from downtime. If increasing, either the node is offline or
the provide system needs more workers (see
Provide.DHT.MaxWorkers
and
Provide.DHT.DedicatedPeriodicWorkers).
Schedule
CIDs scheduled
Total CIDs scheduled for reprovide.
Regions scheduled
Number of keyspace regions scheduled for reprovide. Each CID is mapped to a specific region, and all CIDs within the same region are reprovided together as a batch for efficient processing.
Avg prefix length
Average length of binary prefixes identifying the scheduled regions. Each keyspace region is identified by a binary prefix, and this shows the average prefix length across all regions in the schedule. Longer prefixes indicate more DHT servers in the swarm.
Next region prefix
Keyspace prefix of the next region to be reprovided.
Next region reprovide
When the next region is scheduled to be reprovided.
Timings
Uptime
How long the provide system has been running since Kubo started, along with the start timestamp.
Current time offset
Elapsed time in the current reprovide cycle, showing cycle progress.
Cycle started
When the current reprovide cycle began.
Reprovide interval
How often each CID is reprovided (the complete cycle duration).
Network
Avg record holders
Average number of provider records successfully sent for each CID to distinct DHT servers. In practice, this is often lower than the replication factor due to unreachable peers or timeouts. Matching the replication factor would indicate all DHT servers are reachable.
Note: some holders may have gone offline since receiving the record.
Peers swept
Number of DHT servers to which we tried to send provider records in the last reprovide cycle (sweep). Excludes peers contacted during initial provides or DHT lookups.
Full keyspace coverage
Whether provider records were sent to all DHT servers in the swarm during the last reprovide cycle. If true, peers swept approximates the total DHT swarm size over the last reprovide interval.
Reachable peers
Number and percentage of peers to which we successfully sent all provider records assigned to them during the last reprovide cycle.
Avg region size
Average number of DHT servers per keyspace region.
Replication factor
Target number of DHT servers to receive each provider record.
Operations
Ongoing provides
Number of CIDs and regions currently being provided for the first time. More CIDs than regions indicates efficient batching. Each region provide uses a burst worker.
Ongoing reprovides
Number of CIDs and regions currently being reprovided. Each region reprovide uses a periodic worker.
Total CIDs provided
Total number of provide operations since node startup (includes both provides and reprovides).
Total records provided
Total provider records successfully sent to DHT servers since startup (includes reprovides).
Total provide errors
Number of failed region provide/reprovide operations since startup. Failed regions are automatically retried unless the node is offline.
CIDs provided/min
Average rate of initial provides per minute during the last reprovide cycle (excludes reprovides).
CIDs reprovided/min
Average rate of reprovides per minute during the last reprovide cycle (excludes initial provides).
Region reprovide duration
Average time to reprovide all CIDs in a region during the last cycle.
Avg CIDs/reprovide
Average number of CIDs per region during the last reprovide cycle.
Regions reprovided (last cycle)
Number of regions reprovided in the last cycle.
Workers
Active workers
Number of workers currently processing provide or reprovide operations.
Free workers
Number of idle workers not reserved for periodic or burst tasks.
Workers stats
Breakdown of worker status by type (periodic for scheduled reprovides, burst for initial provides). For each: active (currently processing), dedicated (reserved for this type), available (idle dedicated + free workers), and queued (0 or 1, since we only acquire when needed). See provide queue and reprovide queue for regions waiting to be processed.
Max connections/worker
Maximum concurrent DHT server connections per worker when sending provider records for a region.
