eosio-blocklog is a command-line interface (CLI) utility that allows node operators to perform low-level tasks on the block logs created by a nodeos instance. eosio-blocklog can perform one of the following operations:

  • Convert a range of blocks to JSON format, as single objects or array.
  • Generate blocks.index from blocks.log in blocks directory.
  • Trim blocks.log and blocks.index between a range of blocks.
  • Perform consistency test between blocks.log and blocks.index.
  • Repair blocks.log and reconstruct blocks.index if corrupted.
  • Prune context-free data within given transaction and block number.
  • Output the results of the operation to a file or stdout (default).

Options

eosio-blocklog supports the following options:

Option (=default) Description
--blocks-dir arg (="blocks") The location of the blocks directory (absolute path or relative to the current directory)
--state-history-dir arg (="state-history") The location of the state-history directory (absolute path or relative to the current dir)
-o [ --output-file ] arg The file to write the generated output to (absolute or relative path). If not specified then output is to stdout
-f [ --first ] arg (=0) The first block number to log or the first block to keep if trim-blocklog specified
-l [ --last ] arg (=4294967295) the last block number to log or the last block to keep if trim-blocklog specified
--no-pretty-print Do not pretty print the output. Useful if piping to jq to improve performance
--as-json-array Print out JSON blocks wrapped in JSON array (otherwise the output is free-standing JSON objects)
--make-index Create blocks.index from blocks.log. Must give blocks-dir location. Give output-file relative to current directory or absolute path (default is <blocks-dir>/blocks.index)
--trim-blocklog Trim blocks.log and blocks.index. Must give blocks-dir and first and/or last options.
--fix-irreversible-blocks When the existing block log is inconsistent with the index, allows fixing the block log and index files automatically - it takes the highest indexed block if valid; otherwise, it repairs the block log and reconstructs the index
--smoke-test Quick test that blocks.log and blocks.index are well formed and agree with each other
--block-num arg (=0) The block number which contains the transactions to be pruned
-t [ --transaction ] arg The transaction id to be pruned
--prune-transactions Prune the context free data and signatures from specified transactions of specified block-num
-h [ --help ] Print this help message and exit

Remarks

When eosio-blocklog is launched, the utility attempts to perform the specified operation, then yields the following possible outcomes:

  • If successful, the selected operation is performed and the utility terminates with a zero error code (no error).
  • If unsuccessful, the utility outputs an error to stderr and terminates with a non-zero error code (indicating an error).
