admin

APIs to control Klaytn node.

The namespace admin gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods. They will allow you to have fine-grained control over your Klaytn instance, including but not limited to network peer and RPC endpoint management.

admin_nodeInfo

The nodeInfo administrative property can be queried for all the information known about the running Klaytn node at the networking granularity. These include general information about the node itself as a participant of the devp2p P2P overlay protocol, as well as specialized information added by each of the running application protocols, e.g., klay.

admin_addPeer

The addPeer is an administrative method that requests adding a new remote node to the list of tracked static nodes. The node will try to maintain connectivity to these nodes at all times, reconnecting every once in a while if the remote connection goes down.

The method accepts a single argument kni, which means "Klaytn Network Identifier". It is similar to the enode concept in the geth. It is URL of the remote peer to start tracking and returns a BOOL indicating whether the peer was accepted for tracking or some error occurred.

admin_saveTrieNodeCacheToDisk

The saveTrieNodeCacheToDisk is an administrative method that starts saving the cached trie node to the disk to reuse them when the node restarts. Cached trie node data will be stored to and loaded from $DATA_DIR/fastcache . This method returns an error if the saving process has been already triggered or trie node cache is disabled. This feature is supported since Klaytn 1.5.3.
