Data Storage Pipeline

Data Storage Pipeline

Each column is a single data-storage check for the selected provider at the probe location, ordered oldest (left) to newest (right). The buttons set how many of the most recent checks are shown. Each row is a stage of the storage pipeline:

• Upload — dealbot uploaded the piece to the provider.
• On-chain — the piece was added and confirmed on-chain.
• Discoverability — the piece's root CID was verified findable via IPNI.
• Retrieval — the freshly stored piece was fetched back from the provider using the /ipfs endpoint.

A cell is green when the stage succeeded, red when it failed, and gray when it was skipped or never reached (for example, on-chain confirmation is skipped when the upload itself failed). Retrieval checks started being recorded later than the rest of the pipeline, so probes from before then show a gray (skipped) retrieval cell rather than a failure. Hover a cell for the probe timestamp and stage detail.
