∟Ethereum Private Network Log and Data

This section describes how to check Ethereum private network log file and data files.

With the private Ethereum private network running, let's check the log file and data files of the network.

1. Check log file first:

C:> type geth-personal.log

Maximum peer count                       ETH=25 LES=0 total=25
Starting peer-to-peer node

   livenodes=1 livesize=0.00B

   EIP158: 2675000 Byzantium: 4370000 Engine: ethash}"

   dir=C:\\herong\\Ethereum\\personal\\geth\\ethash count=3
Disk storage enabled for ethash DAGs     
   dir=C:\\Users\\herong\\AppData\\Ethash           count=2

UDP listener up

RLPx listener up                         
   self=enode://8acdf14c1b029431b8aedfec1a92f497fb3c807f48b29ba49f195...
IPC endpoint opened                      url=\\\\.\\pipe\\geth.ipc

Everything looks good. One block is fully loaded. This should be root block, also called genesis block.

2. Check blockchain data files:

C:\>dir \herong\Ethereum\personal /s
