Monlog v0.7.3 - Faster P2P Diagnosis for Monad Operators

Overview

Monad operators got a practical boost with monlog v0.7.3, a community-maintained log analysis tool used to interpret validator health from BFT logs. The release targets faster diagnosis when connectivity or sync issues present as generic network instability.

The key addition is P2P Peer Analysis mode (-p), which highlights active peers, last-seen activity, and connections that are timing out or dropping. This directly helps in scenarios where a node remains online but does not participate in the network as expected.

Context

Compact mode (-c) also improves incident-time readability with shorter validator keys, clearer startup status context, and more explicit state sync progress. These quality-of-life improvements matter during upgrades, restarts, and degraded-node recovery.

Monad operations guidance already positions monlog alongside monad-status as a standard operator toolset, so keeping monlog updated is a low-effort improvement to fleet-level incident response speed.
