# 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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**--env-prefix**
|
||||

# 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.
