Manage the Console Node

This topic contains information about the console node, including how to view and edit the console node configuration, and how to view the health information for the console node.

View and Edit the Console Node Configuration

The console node’s configuration determines how it performs and behaves on the network.

Only administrators can change a node’s configuration. If you've got user permissions, then you can view a node’s configuration settings. See Console Node Attributes.

1. Go to the console and select the Nodes tab.
2. In the Nodes tab, go to the Nodes table, locate the console node and click its More Actions button.
3. The configuration option is determined by your permissions. If you're an administrator, locate and click Edit Configuration. If you're a user, locate and click View.
   The Configure dialog is displayed.
4. If you're an administrator, then modify the node’s settings as needed.
5. Click Submit to save the configuration changes, or click X to close the Configure dialog.
6. Restart the node to apply any changes that you made.

View Health Information for the Console Node

You can check the console node’s metrics to see how it's performing on the blockchain network. This information helps you discover and diagnose performance problems.

The Health pane displays these performance metrics: CPU utilization and memory utilization.

1. Go to the console and select the Nodes tab.
2. In the Nodes tab, click the console node.
   The Node Information page is displayed.
3. Click the Health pane to view the node’s performance metrics.
   Note the following information:
   • If the CPU Utilization percentage is too high, then it might be because too many users are trying to access the console at the same time, or that the console is having technical issues.
   • If the utilization percentages are consistently high, then contact Oracle Support
