I'm running a full node for my voting application and it's using a truly hideous amount of memory. Can this be reduced?
I have the full node only so I can look up account history (curation rewards, transfers, etc) for a handful of accounts. There are two lines in config.ini that I'm particularly interested in:
track-account-range =
and
account-stats-tracked-account = []
What do those do, how do they work, has anybody changed them from their default settings? They feel like they're the solution to my problem.
Yep, it sure can.
track-account-range = ["jesta","biophil"]I believe this sets the node to only track these two accounts history. I'm not sure of the exact details, but I have a node running with these settings:
shared-file-dir = /dev/shm/ shared-file-size = 20G public-api = database_api login_api account_by_key_api network_broadcast_api enable-plugin = witness account_history account_by_key track-account-range = ["jesta"]and the node is only consuming ~16gb of ram/space (instead of like 50+).
I'm not sure what
account-stats-tracked-accountdoes.Might have to go look that up.Edit - Went and searched the code base for
account-stats-tracked-account, couldn't find anything about it. Maybe it's a legacy thing that got removed?Worked like a charm!
Sweet! I'll give it a shot.
@jesta, can you please share here your full config.ini file please? Thanks!
That was cool. I just got to reward a solid question that got a solid answer! (I also learned a bit.)
Solid community.
Yep. Steem is pretty neat.
Aaahhhhhh . . . it's alright I guess . . .
