VDASH(1)

💅 vdash(1) — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the vdash man page, straight from the User Commands section of the manual. it's a CLI, it's iconic, and it's about to make your terminal look amazing. let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

vdash — a CLI tool to monitor nodes on the Safe Network 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

vdash 0.20.0 monitors Autonomi Network nodes right there in your terminal. no browser, no dashboard, no nonsense — just vibes and node stats. and the way you get around? tab and arrow keys. that's it. navigate using tab and arrow keys, periodt. 👑

---

🫶 USAGE:

safe-vdash [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [LOGFILE]...

---

🎀 FLAGS:

• -d, --debug-window — this one parses the first logfile only, and adds a debug output window that you reach with the l/r arrow keys. it also shows a smaller debug output window off to the right of the node view for that logfile. very nerd-coded, very useful ✨
• -h, --help — prints help information. when in doubt, ask for help, bestie 💁‍♀️
• -i, --ignore-existing — ignores any existing logfile content. fresh start, clean slate, main character energy 🌈
• -V, --version — prints version information. so you know exactly which era of vdash you're living in 💅

---

🦋 OPTIONS:

• --checkpoint-interval <checkpoint-interval> — set the checkpoint interval in seconds. 0 will disable checkpoints. why do you care? because vdash saves node statistics every few seconds so it doesn't lose data when it's restarted. [default: 300] 💾
• --coingecko-interval <coingecko-interval> — how often (in minutes) to poll the Coingecko.com API. [default: 30]
• --coingecko-key <coingecko-key> — your Coingecko.com API key 🔑
• --coinmarketcap-interval <coinmarketcap-interval> — how often (in minutes) to poll the Coinmarketcap.com API. [default: 30]
• --coinmarketcap-key <coinmarketcap-key> — your Coinmarketcap.com API key 🔑
• --currency-apiname <currency-apiname> — the fiat currency name to hand to the API. [default: USD]
• --currency-symbol <currency-symbol> — a single character symbol for the currency (like "??" or "???"). [default: $]
• --currency-token-rate <currency-token-rate> — the token conversion rate as a positive floating point number (like 3.345). this gets used if the price APIs aren't used or if they're failing. [default: -1]
• -g, --glob-path <glob-path>... — a *nix glob path that matches multiple files. you can pass this bad boy multiple times, like so:

vdash -g "$HOME/.local/share/autonomi/node/**/antnode.log" -g "./remote-node-logs/*/logs/antnode.log"

• --glob-scan <glob-scan> — enable a periodic scan of any glob paths, every however-many seconds. 0 disables it. [default: 0]
• -l, --lines-max <lines-max> — the max number of lines to show for each logfile. [default: 100]
• --tick-rate <tick-rate> — the event update tick in milliseconds, which controls the screen refresh rate. [default: 200]
• -t, --timeline-steps <timeline-steps> — the number of steps in each timeline for the timeline graphs in the Node Status display. the timeline 'width' = (steps * time units). [default: 210]

---

💜 ARGS:

• <LOGFILE>... — one or more logfiles to monitor. give it all the logs, bestie 🍓

---

ngl, if you're passing globs, remember you can stack -g as many times as you want. that's not a tip, that's literally in the docs. iykyk 💀
