Configuration

This chapter covers the node documentation, necessary to have a working system. It covers the network, logging and storage parameters.

Node Configuration

This is an common example of a Jörmungandr node configuration file typically named node-config.yaml, however your's will vary depending on your needs. Additionally, this configuration has been tested on a specific Jörmungandr version and may change with newer versions. It's important to keep in mind that the trusted_peers portion of this configuration will be different for each Cardano blockchain network. If you're trying to connect this node to a specific network, you need to know its genesis block hash, and its associated list of trusted peers.

Rewards report

Starting the node jormungandr with the command line option --rewards-report-all will collect a thorough report of all the reward distribution. It can then be accessed via the REST endpoints /api/v0/rewards/history/1 or /api/v0/rewards/epoch/10.

this is not a recommended setting as it may take memory and may trigger some latency.

Handling of time-consuming transactions

By default we allow a single transaction to delay a block by 50 slots. This can be changed by adjusting the block_hard_deadline setting.

The following is deprecated and will be removed

If you want to record the reward distributions in a directory it is possible to set the environment variable: JORMUNGANDR_REWARD_DUMP_DIRECTORY=/PATH/TO/DIR/TO/WRITE/REWARD.

If an error occurs while dumping the reward, the node will panic with an appropriate error message.
