Node Maintenance Instructions for node operators

Plugin node operators should follow the below-mentioned points to keep their nodes active and can reap many benefits in the long run.

1. Keep your nodes 24/7 operational.

2. Make sure you have installed log rotation on your node as per the latest modular node setup script, and clean up the logs(/HOME_PATH/.pm2/logs/*.gz, /HOME_PATH/.plugin/*.gz) periodically.

3. Node operators who are using Docker (OneClickDeploy) method can clean up the logs in their docker container using the below-mentioned commands. i) sudo docker exec -it plinode /bin/bash -c "truncate -s 0 ~/.pm2/pm2.log"

   ii) sudo docker exec -it plinode /bin/bash -c "truncate -s 0 ~/.plugin/log.jsonl"

4. Check your node dashboard from time to time by logging in with your credentials, to know about your node reputation.

5. Though your node is 24/7 operational and your node is up and running and your reputation went down, please raise a Ticket with your node’s ‘pm2 status’ screenshot as an attachment.

6. Keep a periodic watch on announcement/update through our channels(like Discord, Twitter, etc.,) to get the latest update.
