Forge has a built-in web application for visualizing the status of the chain nodes. The application contains multiple functional modules. The opening method is forge web open。

If you create multiple chains, the launch method of the WEB interface of a chain is forge web open -c chainName, By default, the Forge CLI application is actually launched when the chain node is started. If you are using the Forge CLI in a windowless operating system, forge web open Is not working.

Chain node dashboard

The node dashboard briefly shows the basic information of the chain, nodes, and several key indicators of the chain. This includes:

  • The name of the chain, the name of the coin, the name of the node
  • Number of accounts on the chain, number of blocks, number of transactions, number of assets, etc.

In addition, the dashboard also supports real-time update mode. Click the gray bar of "Live Updates" to automatically refresh the key indicators of the chain.
