NAME

eth-monitor - Cache, index and monitor transactions with an EVM node rpc

SYNOPSIS

eth-monitor [ --skip-history ] [ --single ] [ p eth_provider ] [ --includes-file file ] [ -i chain_spec ] eth-monitor [ --skip-history ] [ --single ] [ p eth_provider ] [ --excludes-file file ] [ --include-default ] [ -i chain_spec ] 

DESCRIPTION

The eth-monitor has fulfills three distinct but related functions:

1. A customizable view of on transactions of interest.

2. A block and transaction cache.

3. Arbitrary code executions using a transaction (and its block) as input.

Using an EVM RPC endpoint, the eth-monitor tool will retrieve blocks within a given range and provides arbitrary processing of each transaction.

A collection of options is provided to control the behavior of which block ranges to sync, which criteria to use for display and cache, and what code to execute for matching transactions. Details on each topic can be found in the SYNCING, MATCHING ADDRESSES and DEFINING FILTERS sections below, respectively.

Example executions of the tool can be found in the EXAMPLES section.

OPTIONS

-0
Omit newline to output

**--address address
Add an address of interest to match any role. Complements --address-file
.

**-c ***config_dir, ***--config **config_dir
Load configuration files from given directory. All files with an .ini extension will be loaded, of which all must contain valid ini file data.

**--dumpconfig **format
Output configuration settings rendered from environment and inputs. Valid arguments are ini for ini file output, and env for environment variable output. See CONFIGURATION.

--env-prefix
Environment prefix for variables to overwrite configuration. Example: If --env-prefix* is set to FOO then configuration variable BAR_BAZ would be set by environment variable FOO_BAZ_BAR. Also see ENVIRONMENT.*

**--excludes-file file
Load address exclude matching rules from file. See MATCHING ADDRESSES
.

**--exec address
Add an address of interest to executable address array. Complements --address-file
.

**--filter module
Add code execution filter to all matched transactions. The argument must be a python module path. Several filters may be added by supplying the option multiple times. Filters will be executed in the order the options are given. See DEFINING FILTERS
section of eth-monitor (1) for more details.

--height
Block height at which to query state for. Does not apply to transactions.

**-i ***chain_spec, ***--chain-spec **chain_spec
Chain specification string, in the format <engine>:<fork>:<chain_id>:<common_name>. Example: "evm:london:1:ethereum". Overrides the RPC_CREDENTIALS configuration setting.

**--include-default **
Match all addresses by default. Addresses may be excluded using --excludes-file. If this is set, --input, --output, --exec and --includes-file will have no effect.

**--includes-file file
Load address include matching rules from file. See MATCHING ADDRESSES
.

**--input address
Add an address of interest to inputs (recipients) array. Complements --address-file
.

**-n ***namespace, ***--namespace **namespace
Load given configuration namespace. Configuration will be loaded from the immediate configuration subdirectory with the same name.

--no-logs
Turn of logging completely. Negates -v* and *-vv

**--output address
Add an address of interest to outputs (sender) array. Complements --address-file
.

-p*, *--rpc-provider
Fully-qualified URL of RPC provider. Overrides the RPC_PROVIDER configuration setting.

--raw
Produce output most optimized for machines.

**--renderer module
Add output renderer filter to all matched transactions. The argument must be a python module path. Several renderers may be added by supplying the option multiple times. See RENDERERS
section of eth-monitor (1) for more details.

--rpc-dialect
RPC backend dialect. If specified it may help with encoding and decoding issues. Overrides the RPC_DIALECT configuration setting.

--store-block-data **
Store block data in cache for matching transactions. Requires --cache-dir
.

--store-tx-data **
Store transaction data in cache for matching transactions. Requires --cache-dir
.

-u*, *--unsafe
Allow addresses that do not pass checksum.

-v
Verbose. Show logs for important state changes.

-vv
Very verbose. Show logs with debugging information.

**--x-address **address
Add an address of interest to match any role.

**--x-exec **address
Add an address of disinterest to executable address array.

**--x-input **address
Add an address of disinterest to inputs (recipients) array.

**--x-output **address
Add an address of disinterest to outputs (sender) array.

CONFIGURATION

All configuration settings may be overriden both by environment variables, or by overriding settings with the contents of ini-files in the directory defined by the -c* option.*

The active configuration, with values assigned from environment and arguments, can be output using the --dumpconfig* format option. Note that entries having keys prefixed with underscore (e.g. _SEQ) are not actual configuration settings, and thus cannot be overridden with environment variables.*

To refer to a configuration setting by environment variables, the section and key are concatenated together with an underscore, and transformed to upper-case. For example, the configuration variable FOO_BAZ_BAR refers to an ini-file entry as follows:

[foo]
bar_baz = xyzzy

In the ENVIRONMENT* section below, the relevant configuration settings for this tool is listed along with a short description of its meaning.*

Some configuration settings may also be overriden by command line options. Also note that the use of the -n* and --env-prefix options affect how environment and configuration is read. The effects of options on how configuration settings are affective is described in the respective OPTIONS section.*

MATCHING ADDRESSES

By default, addresses to match against transactions need to be explicitly specified. This behavior can be reversed with the --include-default* option. Addresses to match are defined using the --input, --output and --exec options. Addresses specified multiple times will be deduplicated.*

Inclusion rules may also be loaded from file by specifying the --includes-file* and --excludes-file options. Each file must specify the outputs, inputs and exec addresses as comma separated lists respectively, separated by tabs.*

In the current state of this tool, address matching will affect all parts of the processing; cache, code execution and rendering.

SYNCING

When a sync is initiated, the state of this sync is persisted. This way, previous syncs that did not complete for some reason will be resumed where they left off.

A special sync type --head* starts syncing at the current head of the chain, and continue to sync until interrupted. When resuming sync, a new sync range between the current block head and the block height at which the previous --head sync left off will automatically be created.*

Syncs can be forced to (re)run for ranges regardless of previous state by using the --single* option. However, there is no protection in place from preventing code filters from being executed again on the same transaction when this is done. See DEFINING FILTERS below.*

CACHE

When syncing, the hash of a block and transaction matching the address criteria will be stored in the cache. The hashes can be used for future data lookups.

If --store-block-data* and/or --store-tx-data is set, a copy of the block and/or transaction data will also be stored, respectively.*

RENDERING

Rendering in the context of eth-monitor* refers to a formatted output stream that occurs independently of caching and code execution.*

Filters for rendering may be specified by specifying python modules to the --renderer* option. This option may be specified multiple times.*

Rendering filters will be executed in order, and the first filter to return False

DEFINING FILTERS

A python module used for filter must fulfill two conditions:

1. It must provide a class named Filter in the package base namespace.

2. The *Filter class must include a method named filter with the signature def filter(self, conn, block, tx, db_session=None). *

Filters will strictly be executed in the order which they are defined on the command line.

FURTHER READING

Refer to the chainsyncer* chapter n info chaintool for in-depth information on the subjects of syncing and filtering.*

ENVIRONMENT

CHAIN_SPEC
String specifying the type of chain connected to, in the format <engine>:<fork>:<network_id>:<common_name>. For EVM nodes the engine value will always be evm.

RPC_DIALECT
Enables translations of EVM node specific formatting and response codes.

RPC_PROVIDER
Fully-qualified URL to the RPC endpoint of the blockchain node.
