# Manage your nodes

> View node credentials, access endpoints, monitor sync progress, configure add-ons, and manage your Chainstack blockchain nodes from the console.

## Add a node to a network

On the [Nodes](https://console.chainstack.com/nodes) page, add a node;

The status will change from **Pending** to **Running** once deployed.

## View node access and credentials

To view the access information:

1. Click your project.
2. Click your network.
3. Click the node name.

This will give you the access and credentials to your nodes.

Examples of your HTTPS node connection endpoints:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Key-protected theme={"system"}
  https://nd-123-456-789.p2pify.com/3c6e0b8a9c15224a8228b9a98ca1531d
  ```

  ```sh Password-protected theme={"system"}
  https://user-name:pass-word-pass-word-pass-word@nd-123-456-789.p2pify.com
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Examples of your WSS node connection endpoints:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Key-protected theme={"system"}
  wss://ws-nd-123-456-789.p2pify.com/3c6e0b8a9c15224a8228b9a98ca1531d
  ```

  ```sh Password-protected theme={"system"}
  wss://user-name:pass-word-pass-word-pass-word@ws-nd-123-456-789.p2pify.com
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Examples of your gRPC node connection endpoints (available for select protocols like Sui and Solana):

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh gRPC endpoint theme={"system"}
  sui-mainnet.core.chainstack.com:443
  ```

  ```sh x-token theme={"system"}
  b2a7442099925280a3184aef2cedd3a1
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  gRPC endpoints use x-token authentication passed in the request metadata, rather than URL-based auth tokens. See [authentication methods](/docs/authentication-methods-for-different-scenarios) for details.

## View node requests metrics

You can view the data on requests made to your public chain project node.

To view the requests data:

1. Click your project.
2. Click your network.
3. Click the node name.
   This will show you the data on the requests made to your node:

* Requests made — a chart of the total requests over HTTP and WebSocket for the selected period.
* Method calls — a breakdown of the method calls to the node over the selected period. Only available for HTTP requests.
* Response codes — a breakdown of the HTTP response status codes over the selected period. Only available for HTTP requests.

The data granularity is 1 minute.

The available timeframes are—1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 7 days.

You can also see your total organization's [statistics](/docs/see-statistics).

## Switch the period

To switch the period of the displayed requests data:

1. Navigate to the **Metrics** section.
2. On your right, select the period.

## Download the aggregate data

To download the aggregate requests data:

1. In the **Requests made** section, click the hamburger button.
2. Click the format to download the aggregate data.

## Check Dedicated Node performance

A Dedicated Node shows its current CPU, RAM, storage, and latest block number as tiles in the **Node performance** section of the node's **Overview** tab.

To view the node performance:

1. Click your project.
2. Click your network.
3. Click the node name.

For what each tile shows, availability, and how to scrape the same metrics into your own monitoring stack, see [Dedicated Node monitoring](/docs/dedicated-node-monitoring#node-performance-on-chainstack).

## Delete a node

<Warning>
  To be able to delete a project or a network, you must first delete all nodes associated with the network.
</Warning>

To delete a node:

1. Click your project.
2. Click a network in the project.
3. Select a peer node to delete. Click **Edit** > **Delete**.
