# Diagnostics using the Network UI

The **Human Network Interface** is a web-based utility that enables node operators to validate their node's network configuration and check their participation status in the consensus mechanism.

It offers a streamlined interface to interact with a set of RPC endpoints that help perform connectivity checks and fetch quorum-related data.

***

### Features

#### Network Connectivity Checks

* **`mishti_ping()`**\
  Check if your node's RPC interface is reachable.\
  \&#xNAN;*Requires your `rpc_url` as a parameter.*
* **`mishti_quic_ping(peer_id: string)`**\
  Verify if your node is reachable over the QUIC protocol.\
  \&#xNAN;*Requires your `peer_id` as a parameter.*

#### Quorum and Election Monitoring

* **`mishti_fetch_voting_power(peer_id: string)`**\
  Retrieve your node’s voting power in the current quorum.\
  \&#xNAN;*Requires your `peer_id` as a parameter.*
* **`mishti_fetch_election_info(peer_id: string)`**\
  Get details about the current election round and quorum state.\
  \&#xNAN;*Requires your `peer_id` as a parameter.*

### How to Run the Interface

You can run the Human Network UI locally using Docker:

```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e NEXT_PUBLIC_RELAY_NODE_URL=http://44.217.242.218:8081/ mishtinetwork/network-ui:latest
```

> **Note**\
> Please contact the team to request access to the `mishtinetwork/network-ui:latest` Docker image.

Once the container is running, open <http://localhost:3000> in your browser to access the interface.
