Describe your changes
We were inappropriately
increment
ing a gauge to track missed blocks, when instead we should have been clobbering the value viaset
, as we know the precise number from the state machine. This fixes a broken metric for missed blocks that was growing too fast, emitting wrong values.Refs #3746.
Not included in this small patch is a rework of the other validator-related metrics. As described in #3746, we should migrate those metrics to use Events instead.
