Provides a P2P network related status detection tool and Miner log statistics.
Used to analyse the current P2P network connection status of Hotspot.
1.P2P network DNS connection
Test the connectivity of the current gateway with the seed node specified by seed.helium.io. Two randomly selected gateways are tested for connectivity and the results are shown in Status.
Status ：
- OK ：At least one of the seed nodes is connected.
- ERROR ：Both of the selected seed nodes are unreachable.
2.Miner Relay gateway connection
Test the connectivity of the current gateway to the trunk gateway (only if the gateway is in the Relayed state can be tested) The status description is as follows:
Status ：
- OK：Connection to the Relay gateway is working.
- ERROR：Connection to Relay gateway failed.
- NORELAY：Gateway are non-Relayed. (The current display shows a bug and the non-Relayed device will also show ERROR, Fixed in the next version)
Delay ：
- Delay to Relay gateway in ms, -1 means connection failure
3.Connectivity with other gateways
To check the connectivity of the current gateway with other gateways, the Gateway addr can use any of the following three formats
- Communication address of the gateway：/p2p/{onboardingKey}
- Full address of non-relay gateway：/ip4/{IP}/tcp/{PORT}
- Full address of the relay gateway：/p2p/{relay-OnboardingKey}/p2p-circuit/p2p/{onboardingKey}
Status ：
- OK: Connection to other gateways is OK
- ERROR: Connection to other gateways failed
Delay ：
- Delay with other gateways, in ms, -1 means connection failure
4.Gossip Peer Connectivity
Detecting connectivity between the current Hotspot and gossip peers.
Status ：
- OK : The command was executed correctly
- ERROR : Both selected seed nodes cannot be connected
- The results show the connectivity test data for each gossip peer
5.Miner log statistics
Miner log statistics analyses the data sent and received by miner, showing the miner log data for the last 7 days, with the following statistics:
| send_witness_success: | statistics of miner's attempts to send witness message success to the challenger |
| send_witness: | statistics of miner's attempts to send a witness message to the challenger |
| re_sending_witness: | statistics on attempts to resend a witness message after it failed |
| send_witness_max_retry: | statistics on the maximum number of re-sending attempts |
| dial_challenger_closed: | statistics on the number of failed attempts to send a message that was closed |
| dial_challenger_timeout_proxy_session: | statistics on the reason for the failure to send a timeout_proxy_session |
| dial_challenger_stream_down: | statistics for the reason of failure to send stream_down |
| challenger_not_found: | statistics for not_found as the reason for sending failure |
| dial_challenger_proxy_loop: | statistics for the reason of failure to send proxy_loop |
| dial_challenger_limit_exceeded: | statistics that the reason for the failure is limit_exceeded |
| dial_challenger_fail_dial_proxy: | statistics for fail_dial_proxy as the reason for sending failure |
P2P problems are the result of multiple factors and affect all devices in the network. We recommend that you configure your network correctly to ensure high bandwidth, low latency, low packet loss and recommend the use of a network cable.

It is also recommended to check the total number of wireless packets received per day through the RF analysis tool and find ways to boost the total number of wireless received packets.
