How to read logs
================
Walk through example
--------------------
We first create three connections (mempool, consensus and query) to the
application (locally running dummy in this case).
::
I[10-04|13:54:27.364] Starting multiAppConn module=proxy impl=multiAppConn
I[10-04|13:54:27.366] Starting localClient module=abci-client connection=query impl=localClient
I[10-04|13:54:27.366] Starting localClient module=abci-client connection=mempool impl=localClient
I[10-04|13:54:27.367] Starting localClient module=abci-client connection=consensus impl=localClient
Then Tendermint Core and the application perform a handshake.
::
I[10-04|13:54:27.367] ABCI Handshake module=consensus appHeight=90 appHash=E0FBAFBF6FCED8B9786DDFEB1A0D4FA2501BADAD
I[10-04|13:54:27.368] ABCI Replay Blocks module=consensus appHeight=90 storeHeight=90 stateHeight=90
I[10-04|13:54:27.368] Completed ABCI Handshake - Tendermint and App are synced module=consensus appHeight=90 appHash=E0FBAFBF6FCED8B9786DDFEB1A0D4FA2501BADAD
After that, we start a few more things like the event switch, reactors, and
perform UPNP discover in order to detect the IP address.
::
I[10-04|13:54:27.374] Starting EventSwitch module=types impl=EventSwitch
I[10-04|13:54:27.375] This node is a validator module=consensus
I[10-04|13:54:27.379] Starting Node module=main impl=Node

I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting P2P Switch module=p2p impl="P2P Switch"
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting MempoolReactor module=mempool impl=MempoolReactor
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting BlockchainReactor module=blockchain impl=BlockchainReactor
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting ConsensusReactor module=consensus impl=ConsensusReactor
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] ConsensusReactor module=consensus fastSync=false
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting ConsensusState module=consensus impl=ConsensusState
I[10-04|13:54:30.387] Starting WAL module=consensus wal=/home/vagrant/.tendermint/data/cs.wal/wal impl=WAL
I[10-04|13:54:30.388] Starting TimeoutTicker module=consensus impl=TimeoutTicker
Notice the second row where Tendermint Core reports that "This node is a
validator". It also could be just an observer (regular node).
Next we replay all the messages from the WAL.
::
I[10-04|13:54:30.390] Catchup by replaying consensus messages module=consensus height=91
I[10-04|13:54:30.390] Replay: New Step module=consensus height=91 round=0 step=RoundStepNewHeight
I[10-04|13:54:30.390] Replay: Done module=consensus
"Started node" message signals that everything is ready for work.
::
I[10-04|13:54:30.391] Starting RPC HTTP server on tcp socket 0.0.0.0:46657 module=rpc-server
I[10-04|13:54:30.392] Started node module=main nodeInfo="NodeInfo{pk: PubKeyEd25519{DF22D7C92C91082324A1312F092AA1DA197FA598DBBFB6526E177003C4D6FD66}, moniker: anonymous, network: test-chain-3MNw2N [remote , listen 10.0.2.15:46656], version: 0.11.0-10f361fc ([wire_version=0.6.2 p2p_version=0.5.0 consensus_version=v1/0.2.2 rpc_version=0.7.0/3 tx_index=on rpc_addr=tcp://0.0.0.0:46657])}"
Next follows a standard block creation cycle, where we enter a new round,
propose a block, receive more than 2/3 of prevotes, then precommits and finally
have a chance to commit a block. For details, please refer to `Consensus
Overview
<introduction.html#consensus-overview>`__
or `Byzantine Consensus Algorithm
<specification.html>`__.

List of modules
---------------
Here is the list of modules you may encounter in Tendermint's log and a little
overview what they do.
- ``abci-client`` As mentioned in `Application Development Guide
<app-development.html#abci-design>`__,
Tendermint acts as an ABCI client with respect to the application and
maintains 3 connections: mempool, consensus and query. The code used by
Tendermint Core can be found `here
<https://github.com/tendermint/abci/tree/master/client>`__.
- ``blockchain``
Provides storage, pool (a group of peers), and reactor for both storing and
exchanging blocks between peers.
- ``consensus``
The heart of Tendermint core, which is the implementation of the consensus
algorithm. Includes two "submodules": ``wal`` (write-ahead logging) for
ensuring data integrity and ``replay`` to replay blocks and messages on
recovery from a crash.
- ``events``
Simple event notification system. The list of events can be found
`here
<https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/types/events.go>`__.
You can subscribe to them by calling ``subscribe`` RPC method.
Refer to `RPC docs
<specification/rpc.html>`__
for additional information.
- ``mempool``
Mempool module handles all incoming transactions, whenever they are
coming from peers or the application.
- ``p2p``
Provides an abstraction around peer-to-peer communication. For more details,
please check out the `README
<https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/56c60fba2381e4ac41d2ae38a1eb6569acfbc095/p2p/README.md>`__.
- ``rpc``
`Tendermint's RPC <specification/rpc.html>`__.
- ``rpc-server``
RPC server. For implementation details, please read the `README <https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/rpc/lib/README.md>`__.
- ``state``
Represents the latest state and execution submodule, which executes
blocks against the application.
- ``types``
A collection of the publicly exposed types and methods to work with them.
