I have divided the output into different parts to make it easy to explain what each of the parts means. So the output is divided like this:
2018-03-09 00:05:12 UTC(1) Syncing #4896969(2) 61ee…bdad(3) 2 blk/s(4) 508 tx/s(5) 16 Mgas/s(6) 645+(7) 1(8) Qed #4897616(9) 17/25 peers(10) 4 MiB chain(11) 135 MiB db(12) 42 MiB queue(13) 5 MiB sync(14) RPC: 0 conn(15), 0 req/s(16), 182 µs(17)
And the meaning is as follows:
- Timestamp
- Best block number (latest verified block number)
- Best block hash
- Blocks downloaded per second
- Transactions downloaded per second
- Millions of gas processed per second
- Unverified queue size
- Verified queue size
- Latest block number
- Number of active peer nodes/number of total peer nodes
- Blockchain header cache size
- Blockchain state cache size
- Queue cache size
- Node sync metadata cache size
- Number of open RPC sessions to your node
- RPC requests per second
- Approximate roundtrip ping
