Node Performance

View your node’s CPU, Memory, and Storage performance.

If the CPU or Memory is running high you can increase node size.

When the Storage is running out of space you can increase storage.

Node Actions

The following actions can be found under the Actions menu in Node Details. They can result in downtime while the node restarts, so be cautious when performing actions on a node who’s downtime could cause issues.

Change Size

Increase or decrease the node’s CPU size. The node will restart.

The node’s running costs could change after updating the node’s CPU size

The node’s running costs could change after updating the storage size

We always recommend running the network’s latest image version. If the image is out of date the following banner will be displayed in the Node Details page.

Restart Node

The node will be restarted with existing configuration

Stop Node

Storage charges will still be incurred. Terminate the node if you wish to avoid being charged.

Clone Node

Clone an existing node to quickly expand your available resources under load or to easily add more validators and collators. When Lightning Restoreis available, the new node will be up and running within minutes with same configuration and launch arguments. You are able to change the size and storage after deploying.
