DHT Sync Lag

Measure lag time between an agent publishing data and other peers being able to see it. This scenario has two roles:

  • write: A simple job that just creates entries with a timestamp field. Those entries are linked to a known base hash. For each write, the metric ws.custom.dht_sync_sent_count is incremented.
  • record_lag: A job that repeatedly queries for links from the known base hash. It keeps track of records that it has seen and when a new record is found, and calculates the time difference between the timestamp of the new record and the current time. That time difference is then recorded as a custom metric called wt.custom.dht_sync_lag.

After each behaviour loop the metric ws.custom.dht_sync_recv_count is incremented.
