Managing nodes

Manage blockchain node operations in Chainstack Self-Hosted including starting, stopping, monitoring sync status, and accessing node credentials.

This guide covers the operations available for managing deployed blockchain nodes.

Node list

The node list displays all deployed nodes with:

• Node name
• Protocol and network
• Date created
• Date updated
• Current status

Filtering and sorting

Use the controls to:

• Filter by status — All statuses, Running, Bootstrapping, Error
• Search for specific nodes

Node details

Click on any node to view its details page, which includes:

Overview tab

Information	Description
Protocol	Blockchain protocol (e.g., Ethereum)
Network	Network name (e.g., Mainnet, Hoodi)
Date created	When the node was deployed
Deployment ID	Unique identifier for the deployment
Revision ID	Current revision of the deployment
Date updated	Last modification timestamp

Access and credentials for your node:

Endpoint	Description
Execution client HTTP endpoint	JSON-RPC HTTP endpoint (port 8545)
Execution client WSS endpoint	JSON-RPC WebSocket endpoint (port 8546)
Consensus client HTTP endpoint	Beacon API endpoint (port 5052)

The endpoint URLs are internal Kubernetes service addresses. To access nodes from outside the cluster, you’ll need to expose these services via LoadBalancer, NodePort, or Ingress.

Settings tab

The Settings tab provides additional actions for the deployed node. Currently available:

Action	Purpose
Delete node	Permanently remove the node and its data

Monitoring

The Control Panel includes an integrated observability stack with pre-built Grafana dashboards for node health, sync status, and Kubernetes infrastructure metrics. See Monitoring for access instructions.
