This CLI is intended as a debugging tool for a network of Tendermint nodes.
Using the state command, you'll be able to view the consensus state from the perspective of a given node at a given time.
Using the msgs command, you'll be able to see from which peers a given node has received messages over the course of a given time span, at given intervals.
To configue the program, use the nodes command to produce parseable log files, as well as an ip:pubkey json value store. The nodes command takes as arguments the names of all (note: you must include the logs for all nodes in the P2P network).
eg.
t-logs nodes $HOME/node1.log $HOME/node2.log $HOME/node3.log
This should produce one file prefixed with "rendered_" for each given log file, and a file entitled "nodes.json", which functions as the aforementioned value store.
For each call of either msgs or state, a rendered log file must be provided as an argument to the flag --log so to establish a node from whose prespective we'll be looking at things.
eg.
t-logs --log ./rendered_node1.log state 08-14 04:33:39.426
which will provide us with the consensus state from the perspective of node1 at the given date and time.
For further instructions on use of state and msgs, please utilize the --help commad on each.
