      --instance <INSTANCE>
          Add a new instance of a node.

          Configures the ports of the node to avoid conflicts with the defaults. This is useful for running multiple nodes on the same machine.

          Max number of instances is 200. It is chosen in a way so that it's not possible to have port numbers that conflict with each other.

          Changes to the following port numbers: - `DISCOVERY_PORT`: default + `instance` - 1 - `AUTH_PORT`: default + `instance` * 100 - 100 - `HTTP_RPC_PORT`: default - `instance` + 1 - `WS_RPC_PORT`: default + `instance` * 2 - 2 - `IPC_PATH`: default + `-instance`

      --with-unused-ports
          Sets all ports to unused, allowing the OS to choose random unused ports when sockets are bound.

          Mutually exclusive with `--instance`.

  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

          [default: All]

      --disable-tx-gossip
          Disable transaction pool gossip

          Disables gossiping of transactions in the mempool to peers. This can be omitted for personal nodes, though providers should always opt to enable this flag.

      --tx-propagation-mode <PROPAGATION_MODE>
          Sets the transaction propagation mode by determining how new pending transactions are propagated to other peers in full.

          Examples: sqrt, all, max:10

          Debug setting that enables execution witness comparison for troubleshooting bad blocks.
          When enabled, the node will collect execution witnesses from the specified source and
          compare them against local execution when a bad block is encountered, helping identify
          discrepancies in state execution.

      --ethstats <ETHSTATS>
          The URL of the ethstats server to connect to. Example: `nodename:secret@host:port`

      --debug.startup-sync-state-idle

      --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.

          [default: 200]

      --log.file.max-files <COUNT>
          The maximum amount of log files that will be stored. If set to 0, background file logging is disabled

      --color <COLOR>
          Sets whether or not the formatter emits ANSI terminal escape codes for colors and other text formatting

          Possible values:
          - always: Colors on
          - auto:   Auto-detect
          - never:  Colors off

          [default: always]

      --logs-otlp[=<URL>]
          Enable `Opentelemetry` logs export to an OTLP endpoint.

          If no value provided, defaults based on protocol: - HTTP: `http://localhost:4318/v1/logs` - gRPC: `http://localhost:4317`

          Example: --logs-otlp=http://collector:4318/v1/logs

          [env: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT=]

      --logs-otlp.filter <FILTER>
          Set a filter directive for the OTLP logs exporter. This controls the verbosity of logs sent to the OTLP endpoint. It follows the same syntax as the `RUST_LOG` environment variable.

          Example: --logs-otlp.filter=info,reth=debug

          Defaults to INFO if not specified.

          [default: info]

Display:
  -v, --verbosity...
          Set the minimum log level.

          -v      Errors
          -vv     Warnings
          -vvv    Info
          -vvvv   Debug
          -vvvvv  Traces (warning: very verbose!)

  -q, --quiet
          Silence all log output

Tracing:
      --tracing-otlp[=<URL>]
          Enable `Opentelemetry` tracing export to an OTLP endpoint.

          If no value provided, defaults based on protocol: - HTTP: `http://localhost:4318/v1/traces` - gRPC: `http://localhost:4317`

          Example: --tracing-otlp=http://collector:4318/v1/traces

          [env: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT=]

      --tracing-otlp-protocol <PROTOCOL>
          OTLP transport protocol to use for exporting traces and logs.

          - `http`: expects endpoint path to end with `/v1/traces` or `/v1/logs` - `grpc`: expects endpoint without a path

          Defaults to HTTP if not specified.

          Possible values:
          - http: HTTP/Protobuf transport, port 4318, requires `/v1/traces` path
          - grpc: gRPC transport, port 4317

          [env: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=]
          [default: http]

      --tracing-otlp.filter <FILTER>
          Set a filter directive for the OTLP tracer. This controls the verbosity of spans and events sent to the OTLP endpoint. It follows the same syntax as the `RUST_LOG` environment variable.

          Example: --tracing-otlp.filter=info,reth=debug,hyper_util=off

          Defaults to TRACE if not specified.

          [default: debug]

      --tracing-otlp.sample-ratio <RATIO>
          Trace sampling ratio to control the percentage of traces to export.

          Valid range: 0.0 to 1.0 - 1.0, default: Sample all traces - 0.01: Sample 1% of traces - 0.0: Disable sampling

          Example: --tracing-otlp.sample-ratio=0.0.

          [env: OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER_ARG=]
