I would like to understand what the outputs for ipfs log tail
means which has the different operations like handleFindPeer
, handleGetProviders
.
For example when I see the event with handleAddProvider
what does it mean and how is it related to my running ipfs node?
ipfs log tail
exposes internal debug logs / perf info from the logging system. Most of the messages there will be related to dht, swarm (networking/peer management) and bitswap.
The best way to find where a message comes from is probably to just run a full text search over the ipfs codebase.
For example handleAddProvider
comes from https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-kad-dht/blob/fd8d798b512f65a2def035c1efac18081550e759/handlers.go#L342
