Enable telemetry for Bulletin Chain (Westend + Paseo)#1245
Conversation
Set telemetryEndpoints to wss://telemetry.polkadot.io/submit/ (verbosity 0) in Westend Bulletin and Paseo Bulletin chain specs.

Note on genesis hash: |
Makes sense, thanks for the clarification! I would recommend checking whether the target endpoint makes sense to be used. That is, whether it's current state is good enough for what we expect from it, and if/when there are some expected changes to the endpoint. Alternatively, I'm ok with setting it as a default value. If we opt for this, I'd leave it to @eduardspa's judgement on Monday. |
Bulletin chain specs have
telemetryEndpoints: null. Nodes only report to telemetry.polkadot.io if operators manually pass--telemetry-url.This sets the endpoint in the chain spec itself (verbosity 0). Polkadot, Kusama and Westend relay chains do the same. Every node reports by default. "Westend Bulletin" and "Paseo Bulletin" show up on telemetry.polkadot.io automatically. Operators can opt out with
--no-telemetry.Why not rely on
--telemetry-urlCLI flag? It makes telemetry opt-in rather than opt-out, so we can't guarantee full network coverage.Why telemetry and not just Prometheus? Prometheus is per-node (you scrape individual endpoints for deep diagnostics). Telemetry is network-wide (nodes push to a central server) — it answers "how many nodes are online, are they all producing blocks, what versions are they running?" without needing access to each node's metrics port.
