Once you’ve registered your hotspot to the dashboard, you will find the following (see screenshot below).
You will quickly be able to see all status updates of the hotspot on this page. If you register more than 1 hotspot, they will be added as separate rows.
Simply click the hotspot name or SN to view further details explained below.
The dashboard allows you to monitor your hotspots settings, including CPU temperature, network settings, blockchain syncing progress, and much more. Below is a breakdown of what each setting represents.
Note: The information presented inside the dashboard is updated every 5 minutes. If you update network configuration changes, such as fixing relay status or simply want to see if you are synced, refreshing the dashboard in 5 minutes will provide updated data.
Do not be alarmed if your status is not updated. The Helium network will need time to pick-up your new IP address and will eventually update.
Expected: Healthy.
Issue: Forwarding Unreachable/Unknown.
The screenshot below shows unhealthy PeerPing because PORT 44158 is not reachable or a misconfiguration of network settings.
Please refer to >> Network Configuration for additional configuration steps to achieve expected results.
This is a library for storing libp2p peer information in a peer-to-peer (p2p) network. The peerbook plays a key role in a p2p network because it maintains a view over time of the peers that are available in the network.
Once clicked, you will see your P2P network address, followed by a name, listen_address, connection, NAT, and last_update. (see screenshot below)
If you have NAT restrictions, you will see NAT: Symmetric, Static, etc…
Expected: NAT: None/Open for best results and maximum.
Issue: NAT: Symmetric/Static/Strict or any other value.
If your UPnP configuration on your network is incorrect, you may see a random PORT assigned, such as '44159'. Please refer to >> Network Configuration.
Expected: PORT 44158
Issue: Any other PORT, such as 44159
If your network configuration is incorrect, you will see a random port assigned to your hotspots IP, such as 55698, or 44159, the number varies as your router/network assigns a random port to your hotspot.
If your listen_address is a P2P address, please allow 24-48 hours for updated data. If not resolved after 24-48 hours, please re-check your network configuration (including port forwarding, UPnP, IP reserving, etc...)
NOTE: Please do not run multiple hotspots within the same network. All hotspots will eventually end up in 'Relayed Status' as the hotspots will be fighting to connect to PORT 44158 and fail.
Hotspot Rewards: Displays your HNT rewards.
Last 24H: What your last 24-hour reward was (rolling 24H window).
Last 7D: What your last 7-day reward was (rolling 7D window).
Last 30D: What your last 30-day reward was (rolling 30D window).
Total: Displays total HNT rewarded since online.
There is a complex mechanism for mining and rewards. As long as the networks settings, hotspot placement, antenna, internet connection and hotspot status are in good standing/healthy, the device will perform accordingly. The Helium Doc is always a great place to learn more on the rewards mechanism. >>https://docs.helium.com/blockchain/mining
After you log-in to your dashboard, you should be presented with a navigation pane on the left side as follows.
