Review version variance across clients #211

Open philknows opened 1 year ago

philknows commented 1 year ago

Expected Behavior

Currently the crawler is pulling a count for the version variaance across clients seems to be scraping well. However, there are some improvements that can be made. Ideally, we should be able to categorize as many nodes into their proper {client}{version} categories.

Current Behavior

For example, in Prysm there is a group of prysm unknown and prysm others which is generally meaningless and we should figure out why.

Nimbus is also not being properly detected as they are all grouped under unknown. We can liaise with them to figure out how to best detect them.

Lodestar's UserAgent needs to be updated. See https://github.com/ChainSafe/eth2-crawler/issues/200 and https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/issues/4465

Possible Solution

Let's implement the UserAgent update for detecting Lodestar and figure out how we can more accurately represent the other clients to the most accurate numbers as possible.

Please inform me if you need to get in touch with a maintainer at any of the client teams to debug @spacesailor24 @sadiq1971
