Find the harvester responsible for a farm-wide Chia plot deficit
A farm dashboard showing hundreds of missing plots leaves several possibilities, including a missing host, incomplete synchronization and plots whose keys the farmer lacks.
Inventory nodes before summing capacity
Run the summary on the farmer and compare node IDs with the deployment inventory. Check each harvester's syncing and last_sync_time before treating its reported plot count as complete.
chia rpc farmer get_harvesters_summary | jq '.harvesters[] | {id: .connection.node_id, plots, no_key_filenames, failed_to_open_filenames, syncing, last_sync_time}'
Direct the investigation to the right host
A missing expected node points toward its connection. A present node with many no_key_filenames points toward plot-key configuration. Failed opens require investigation on the storage host. Recheck after synchronization and retain the per-host counts; a healthy farm total can otherwise hide one missing machine.
