peer-observer websocket tools

Interactive tools built on live data from a Bitcoin Core node extracted with peer-observer.

netinfo

Overview of all peers, similar to Bitcoin Core's bitcoin-cli -netinfo.

  • Shows connection type, network, transport, user agent, and tags (e.g. spy, high-bandwidth).
  • Summarizes per-direction bandwidth, ping, addr rate-limiting, and relay capabilities.

peers

Grid view of peers with per-peer message statistics.

  • Shows total messages and bytes sent/received per peer.
  • Hover for per-message-type counts; click a peer to inspect a recent message.

p2p-circle

Visualization of P2P connections and messages.

  • Draws our node in the center and peers around it, with one circle per connection.
  • Colors and labels peers by connection type or network.

txrelay

Transaction relay behavior per peer.

  • Counts inv, getdata, and tx messages in both directions.
  • Highlights ratios (announced vs received/sent) and flags peers that request unannounced or send unrequested transactions.

addrrelay

Address relay behavior per peer.

  • Tracks getaddr, addr, and addrv2 messages by address type (IPv4, IPv6, Tor, I2P).

pingpong

Ping/pong activity per peer.

  • Counts how often we ping peers and how often they ping us.
  • Makes it easy to spot peers that overuse ping.

IP-ranges and ASNs

Shows the top IP-ranges and ASNs for currently connected peers and in addrman tables.

  • Shows top IPv4 /24 and IPv6 /32 subnets.
  • Shows top ASNs from addrman and active connections.
