## 🚨 Maintenance

#### Get validator info

```bash
lavad status 2>&1 | jq .ValidatorInfo
```

#### Get sync info

```bash
lavad status 2>&1 | jq .SyncInfo
```

#### Get node peer

```bash
echo $(lavad tendermint show-node-id)'@'$(curl -s ifconfig.me)':'$(cat $HOME/.lava/config/config.toml | sed -n '/Address to listen for incoming connection/{n;p;}' | sed 's/.*://; s/".*//')
```

#### Check if validator key is correct

```bash
[[ $(lavad q staking validator $(lavad keys show wallet --bech val -a) -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(lavad status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
```

#### Get live peers

```bash
curl -sS http://localhost:44657/net_info | jq -r '.result.peers[] | "\(.node_info.id)@\(.remote_ip):\(.node_info.listen_addr)"' | awk -F ':' '{print $1":"$(NF)}'
```

#### Set minimum gas price

```bash
sed -i -e "s/^minimum-gas-prices *=.*/minimum-gas-prices = \"0ulava\"/" $HOME/.lava/config/app.toml
```

#### Enable prometheus

```bash
sed -i -e "s/prometheus = false/prometheus = true/" $HOME/.lava/config/config.toml
```

#### Reset chain data

```bash
lavad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.lava --keep-addr-book
```

#### Remove node

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please, before proceeding with the next step! All chain data will be lost! Make sure you have backed up your **priv\_validator\_key.json**!
{% endhint %}

```bash
cd $HOME
sudo systemctl stop lavad
sudo systemctl disable lavad
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/lavad.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
rm -f $(which lavad)
rm -rf $HOME/.lava
rm -rf $HOME/lava
```
