Complete guide to using XandScan for pNode network analysis
Dashboard Overview
The XandScan dashboard provides a comprehensive view of the Xandeum pNode network:
Network Health Grade
The A-F letter grade system provides an at-a-glance assessment of network health:
- • A+/A (90-100): Excellent network performance
- • B (70-89): Good performance with room for improvement
- • C (50-69): Fair performance, monitoring recommended
- • D/F (<50): Poor performance, action required
Network Statistics
Four key metrics displayed as cards:
- • Total Nodes: Active and inactive pNodes in the network
- • Total Storage: Combined storage capacity across all nodes
- • Average Uptime: Network-wide uptime percentage
- • Decentralization Score: Geographic distribution metric (0-100)
Intelligence Panel
AI-powered insights detect important network events:
- • Critical Alerts: Immediate attention required (low uptime, storage issues)
- • Warnings: Potential problems (version outdated, high latency)
- • Info Events: Normal network activity and upgrades
- • Positive Trends: Network improvements and milestones
Node Exploration
Search & Filters
Find nodes quickly using the search bar:
- • Search by moniker (node name)
- • Search by public key
- • Search by location (city or country)
- • Filter by status: Active, Inactive, Syncing
Sort Options
Sort nodes by various metrics:
- • Health Score: Overall node performance (default)
- • Uptime: Highest to lowest availability
- • Storage: Most to least capacity
- • Latency: Fastest to slowest response time
- • Name: Alphabetical by moniker
Node Details
Click any node card to view comprehensive details:
Basic Information
- • Node moniker and public key
- • IP address and network port
- • Geographic location (country, city)
- • Software version
- • Last seen timestamp
Performance Metrics
- • Uptime: Percentage of time online
- • Latency: Average response time in milliseconds
- • Storage: Used vs. total capacity with utilization percentage
- • Bandwidth: Data transfer rate in Mbps
- • Success Rate: Percentage of successful operations
Network Analytics
Geographic Distribution
View node distribution across countries with metrics for each region including node count, active nodes, and average health score.
Top Performers
Leaderboards showcasing the best nodes across three categories:
- • Highest Uptime: Most reliable nodes
- • Most Storage: Largest capacity providers
- • Lowest Latency: Fastest response times
Version Intelligence
Track software version distribution across the network, identify upgrade trends, and ensure network compatibility.
Data Export
Export network data for offline analysis:
- • CSV Format: Import into Excel, Google Sheets, or data analysis tools
