From ba8b5d8d67976e22bdf3ebffc025fec36b9294d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Etan Kissling Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2023 11:08:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lower number of `--remote-validators-count` in CI (#5399) The CI signing node sometimes becomes overloaded, leading to late block. ``` {"lvl":"DBG","ts":"2023-09-05 23:46:34.515+01:00","msg":"REST request body has been sent","remote":"127.0.0.1:5201","request":"/api/v1/eth2/sign/0x82ad1b336ce728978983cbe7c7dd25f757fdc66536f3457cf9f0120c07943f8d464eec55fefcaef9c0d5da6e9f7c1443","size":549,"http_method":"POST"} ``` ``` DBG 2023-09-05 23:46:36.098+01:00 Received request peer=127.0.0.1:51194 meth=POST uri=/api/v1/eth2/sign/0x82ad1b336ce728978983cbe7c7dd25f757fdc66536f3457cf9f0120c07943f8d464eec55fefcaef9c0d5da6e9f7c1443 ``` Especially on the `minimal` preset with short slot timings, this leads to attestations and sync duties being made for an old head, ultimately: ``` {"lvl":"FAT","ts":"2023-09-05 23:46:41.915+01:00","msg":"Low sync committee participation","topics":"chaindag","slot":15,"num_active_participants":8} ``` Looking at `nimbus_signing_node.0.jsonl` shows that the signing node is very busy. Lowering the validator count should reduce the latency a bit. --- Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index ba86f49b6..31e160d7e 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ local-testnet-minimal: --preset minimal \ --nodes 2 \ --signer-nodes 1 \ - --remote-validators-count 1024 \ + --remote-validators-count 512 \ --signer-type $(SIGNER_TYPE) \ --capella-fork-epoch 3 \ --deneb-fork-epoch 20 \
