Observability, Telemetry, & Analytics

High-fidelity observability is critical in autonomous systems. VampedAlpha instruments every subsystem using structured logging and metrics collection. Logs follow the trace-ID paradigm: each trade intent receives a unique identifier that propagates through every module, linking strategy generation, risk checks, signing, and confirmation events.

Metrics (latency, success rate, retry counts, RPC errors) are aggregated into Prometheus-style time-series databases. Dashboards visualize transaction throughput, block latency distribution, wallet balances, and copy-trade lag. Operators can identify performance degradation in real time.

Telemetry events are emitted asynchronously to avoid blocking the main runtime. The observability layer includes alerting hooks that trigger when metrics exceed defined thresholds (e.g., RPC error rate > 5%, balance drift detected). Alerts can be routed to monitoring bots, Discord webhooks, or email, depending on configuration.

Data retention is configurable. By default, execution and market logs are archived periodically for replay analysis. This historical data powers the analytics engine, which computes profit curves, trade efficiency, and risk-adjusted returns. For copy-trading, it measures replication delay and leader/follower correlation.

From a systems perspective, observability transforms the bot from a black box into a measurable machine. Developers can diagnose issues down to exact RPC endpoints or strategy IDs. In competitive trading environments, such introspection directly contributes to profitability by minimizing downtime and execution errors.
