Description
This PR adds a new generic endpoint to heimdall called
/sync_info
which responds with the current sync status of the node. The aim behind this change is to expose an API via heimdall directly for bor/erigon to query and find the latest block info instead of querying the/status
endpoint of tendermint (which is generally not configured in bor/erigon to query).The
/status
endpoint of tendermint also exposes some validator and p2p info which is not needed and hence the endpoint is named as sync info. I believe validator info should be kept behind tendermint's port and p2p info is available via another endpoint namednode_info
.Skipping making swagger changes for this PR as it's too sophisticated and doesn't seem immediately relevant.
