Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed HubAdminService and the configured hub services it would coordinate, including lbcd, lbrycrd, and the database. Break the requested operations into defined API responsibilities, then verify that the design covers component settings, status, diagnostics, usage data, resource information, direct daemon information, and regtest generation for the docker stack.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

type: feature request

As a hub operator, it would be useful to be able to:

  • change values of hub component settings without restarting the components
  • check the status of hub components
  • run diagnostics and maintenance on the database (scan for integrity errors, repair damaged dbs, rebuild indexes, drop optional indexes, etc)
  • request usage statistics
  • request hub component resource usage information
  • request mempool / other information from either lbcd or lbrycrd directly
  • call generate on lbcd/lbrycrd on regtest so that the docker stack can be used for integration tests

A new HubAdminService can be added that can expose a single admin api to do these things across the other running and configured hub services.
