Node-specific state and uncommitted data.
Unlike the availability and node APIs, which deal only with committed data (albeit with different consistency properties), the status API offers a glimpse into internal consensus state and uncommitted data. Here you can find low-level information about a particular node, such as consensus and networking metrics.
The status API is intended to be a lightweight way to inspect the activities and health of a consensus node. It is the only API that can be run without any persistent storage, and its memory overhead is also very low. As a consequence, it only serves two types of data:
/hotshot-status//block-height
Get the height of the latest committed block.
/hotshot-status//metrics
Prometheus endpoint exposing various consensus-related metrics.
/hotshot-status//success-rate
Get the view success rate.
Returns the fraction of views which resulted in a committed block, as a floating point number.
/hotshot-status//time-since-last-decide
Get the time elapsed since the last decided time.
Returns the time elapsed in seconds since the Unix epoch.
