# Tips ### Disk utilization To help manage the disk size you can prune the blocks being kept. For this I use prime numbers- pick your own in `app.toml` ``` pruning = "custom" # These are applied if and only if the pruning strategy is custom. pruning-keep-recent = "809" pruning-keep-every = "0" pruning-interval = "43" ``` You should also check what you are indexing ``` index-events = ["tx.hash", "tx.height"] ``` ### Adding more peers You should modify `/etc/security/limits.conf` and add ``` * soft nofile 65535 * hard nofile 65535 ``` You can then modify the config.toml to increase connections. This may cost you more in ingress/egress charges. ``` max_open_connections = 1900 max_num_inbound_peers = 50 max_num_outbound_peers = 50 ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.kujira.app/validators/run-a-node/tips.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
