Validators Troubleshooting

Common reasons for your validator being jailed

The most common reason for your validator being jailed is that your validator is out of memory because of bloated syslogs.

  • Running the command df -H will return the size of the various partitions of your VPS.

  • If the /dev/sda partition is almost full, try pruning some of the .gz syslog archives and restart your validator process.

  • You can check out if your syslogs aren’t eating all your disk space and prune them.
