peers

[Source]

The peers command returns a list of all other rippled servers currently connected to this one over the Peer Protocol, including information on their connection and sync status.

The peers method is an admin method that cannot be run by unprivileged users!

}

The response follows the standard format, with a successful result containing a JSON object with the following fields:

`Field`	Type	Description
`cluster`	Object	Summary of other `rippled` servers in the same cluster, if configured as a cluster.
`peers`	Array	Array of peer objects.

Each field of the cluster object is the public key of that rippled server's identifying key pair. (This is the same value that that server returns as pubkey_node in the server_info method.) The contents of that field are an object with the following fields:

`Field`	Type	Description
`tag`	String	The display name for this cluster member as defined in the config file.
`fee`	Number	(May be omitted) The load multiplier this cluster member is applying to the transaction cost
`age`	Number	The number of seconds since the last cluster report from this cluster member.

Each member of the peers array is a peer object with the following fields:

`Field`	Type	Description
`address`	String	The IP address and port where this peer is connected
`cluster`	Boolean	(May be omitted) If `true`, the current server and the peer server are part of the same `rippled` cluster.
`name`	String	(May be omitted) If the peer is part of the same cluster, this is the display name for that server as defined in the config file.
`complete_ledgers`	String	Range expression indicating the ledger indexes of the ledger versions the peer `rippled` server has available
`inbound`	Boolean	(May be omitted) If `true`, the peer is connecting to the local server.
`latency`	Number	The network latency to the peer (in milliseconds)
`ledger`	String	The identifying hash of the peer's most recently closed ledger
`load`	Number	A measure of the amount of load the peer server is putting on the local server. Larger numbers indicate more load. (The units by which load is measured are not formally defined.)
`protocol`	String	(May be omitted) The protocol version that the peer is using, if not the same as the local server.
`metrics`	Object	Details on the amount of data sent to and received from this peer. See the description of the `metrics` object below for details.
`public_key`	String	(May be omitted) A public key that can be used to verify the integrity of the peer's messages. This is not the same key that is used for validations, but it follows the same format.
`sanity`	String	(May be omitted) Whether this peer is following the same rules and ledger history as the current server. A value of `insane` probably indicates that the peer is part of a parallel network. The value `unknown` indicates that the current server is unsure whether the peer is compatible.
`status`	String	(May be omitted) The most recent status message from the peer. Could be `connecting`, `connected`, `monitoring`, `validating`, or `shutting`.
`uptime`	Number	The number of seconds that your `rippled` server has been continuously connected to this peer.
`version`	string	(May be omitted) The `rippled` version number of the peer server

The metrics object contains the following fields:

`Field`	Type	Description
`avg_bps_recv`	String	The average bytes per second of data received from this peer.
`avg_bps_sent`	String	The average bytes per second of data sent to this peer.
`total_bytes_recv`	String	The total number of bytes of data received from this peer.
`total_bytes_sent`	String	The total number of bytes of data sent to this peer.

Note

All of the fields in the metrics object are 64-bit unsigned integers serialized to string format so that they do not lose precision in JSON encoding/decoding.
