Block Production Status
Date: 2026-01-04 23:30 PST
Status: ⚠️ Services Active - Block Production Status Being Verified
Current Status
Services
- ✅ Validators (1000-1004): Services are active/activating after configuration fixes
- ✅ Sentries (1500-1503): Services are active
Block Production History
Last Block Production: January 3, 2026 around 21:09-21:12 PST
- Last produced block: #600,171
- Blocks were being produced regularly before configuration changes
Recent Activity:
- Services were restarted multiple times due to configuration errors
- Configuration has been fixed and services are restarting
- Nodes may need time to sync before resuming block production
Configuration Issues Fixed
-
✅ Removed invalid TOML options:
qbft-validator-migration-mode-enabled(not supported)max-remote-initiated-connections(not supported)rpc-http-host-allowlist(not supported)
-
✅ Removed incompatible option:
fast-sync-min-peers(cannot be used with FULL sync-mode)
-
✅ Services are now starting successfully
Next Steps
-
Wait for Services to Fully Start: Services are currently starting up
- Allow 2-5 minutes for full initialization
- Nodes need to sync with the network
-
Monitor Block Production: Check logs for "Produced" messages
./scripts/check-validator-sentry-logs.sh 50 -
Check Sync Status: Verify nodes are synced
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 1000 -- journalctl -u besu-validator.service | grep -i sync" -
Verify Consensus: Ensure validators can reach consensus
- All validators must be running and synced
- Network connectivity between validators must be working
Expected Behavior
Once services are fully started and synced:
- Blocks should be produced every ~2 seconds (QBFT consensus)
- Each validator will produce blocks in rotation
- Logs will show "Produced #XXXXX" messages
Monitoring Commands
# Check if blocks are being produced
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 1000 -- journalctl -u besu-validator.service --since '5 minutes ago' | grep -i 'Produced'"
# Check service status
ssh root@192.168.11.10 "pct exec 1000 -- systemctl status besu-validator.service"
# Check current block via RPC (if RPC is enabled)
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' http://192.168.11.100:8545
Note: Block production will resume once all validators are fully started and synced with the network. The recent configuration changes required service restarts, which temporarily paused block production.
