Archive Method

How to Use It

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Solana, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Solana>({ network: Network.SOLANA })

const res = await tatum.rpc.getRecentPerformanceSamples(limit)

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

The getRecentPerformanceSamples method returns a list of recent performance samples, in reverse slot order. Performance samples are taken every 60 seconds and include the number of transactions and slots that occur in a given time window. This data can be used to monitor network performance and understand the activity within the Solana network.

Parameters

limit (usize, optional): The number of samples to return (maximum 720).

Return Object

The result will be an array of objects with the following fields:

slot: Slot in which sample was taken at.
numTransactions: Number of transactions in sample.
numSlots: Number of slots in sample.
samplePeriodSecs: Number of seconds in a sample window.
numNonVoteTransaction: Number of non-vote transactions in sample.

Note: numNonVoteTransaction is present starting with v1.15. To get the number of voting transactions, compute: numTransactions - numNonVoteTransaction.
