[default: optimism]
Database:
--db.log-level <LOG_LEVEL>
Database logging level. Levels higher than "notice" require a debug build
Possible values:
- fatal: Enables logging for critical conditions, i.e. assertion failures
- error: Enables logging for error conditions
- warn: Enables logging for warning conditions
- notice: Enables logging for normal but significant condition
- verbose: Enables logging for verbose informational
- debug: Enables logging for debug-level messages
- trace: Enables logging for trace debug-level messages
- extra: Enables logging for extra debug-level messages
--db.exclusive <EXCLUSIVE>
Open environment in exclusive/monopolistic mode. Makes it possible to open a database on an NFS volume
[possible values: true, false]
--db.max-size <MAX_SIZE>
Maximum database size (e.g., 4TB, 8TB).
This sets the "map size" of the database. If the database grows beyond this limit, the node will stop with an "environment map size limit reached" error.
The default value is 8TB.
--db.page-size <PAGE_SIZE>
Database page size (e.g., 4KB, 8KB, 16KB).
Specifies the page size used by the MDBX database.
The page size determines the maximum database size. MDBX supports up to 2^31 pages, so with the default 4KB page size, the maximum database size is 8TB. To allow larger databases, increase this value to 8KB or higher.
WARNING: This setting is only configurable at database creation; changing it later requires re-syncing.
--db.growth-step <GROWTH_STEP>
Database growth step (e.g., 4GB, 4KB)
--db.read-transaction-timeout <READ_TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT>
Read transaction timeout in seconds, 0 means no timeout
--db.max-readers <MAX_READERS>
Maximum number of readers allowed to access the database concurrently
--db.sync-mode <SYNC_MODE>
Controls how aggressively the database synchronizes data to disk
--db.rocksdb-block-cache-size <ROCKSDB_BLOCK_CACHE_SIZE>
`RocksDB` block cache size (e.g., 512MB, 4GB).
Controls the size of the in-memory LRU cache for decompressed `RocksDB` blocks. A larger cache reduces repeated decompression of hot blocks, improving read performance for history lookups.
--db.balstore-cache-size <BALSTORE_CACHE_SIZE>
Number of recent blocks to keep in the in-memory BAL store cache
--db.disable-metrics
Disable built-in database metrics
Static Files:
--static-files.blocks-per-file.headers <BLOCKS_PER_FILE_HEADERS>
Number of blocks per file for the headers segment

Number of blocks per file for the transactions segment
--static-files.blocks-per-file.receipts <BLOCKS_PER_FILE_RECEIPTS>
Number of blocks per file for the receipts segment
--static-files.blocks-per-file.transaction-senders <BLOCKS_PER_FILE_TRANSACTION_SENDERS>
Number of blocks per file for the transaction senders segment
--static-files.blocks-per-file.account-change-sets <BLOCKS_PER_FILE_ACCOUNT_CHANGE_SETS>
Number of blocks per file for the account changesets segment
--static-files.blocks-per-file.storage-change-sets <BLOCKS_PER_FILE_STORAGE_CHANGE_SETS>
Number of blocks per file for the storage changesets segment
Storage:
--storage.v2 [<V2>]
Enable V2 (hot/cold) storage layout for new databases.
When set, new databases will be initialized with the V2 storage layout that separates hot and cold data. Existing databases always use the settings persisted in their metadata regardless of this flag.
[default: true]
[possible values: true, false]

- `http`: expects endpoint path to end with `/v1/traces` or `/v1/logs` - `grpc`: expects endpoint without a path
Defaults to HTTP if not specified.
