# Comprehensive Log Analysis Report
**Date**: 2025-10-30
**Analysis Period**: Full historical logs + recent 7-day activity
**Total Log Volume**: 927 MB (current) + 826 MB (archived)

## Executive Summary

Critical issues identified across **1.75 GB** of log data spanning multiple MEV bot runs. The system is experiencing **severe operational failures** that prevent profitable arbitrage execution:

- **100,709 rate limit errors** - System exceeding RPC provider limits
- **9,065 WebSocket protocol errors** - Connection initialization failures
- **184,708 total errors** in current error log (42 MB)
- **100% of liquidity events** contain invalid zero addresses
- **0 successful arbitrage executions** - All opportunities rejected
- **147,078 errors** in most recent archived run

## 🚨 CRITICAL ISSUES (P0 - Immediate Action Required)

### 1. WebSocket Protocol Scheme Error
**Severity**: CRITICAL | **Impact**: Complete connection failure
**Occurrences**: 9,065 instances

```
ERROR] ❌ Failed to get latest block: Post "wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/...":
unsupported protocol scheme "wss"
```

**Root Cause**: Code attempting to make HTTP POST requests to WebSocket URLs
- **Location**: Likely in `pkg/monitor/concurrent.go` or `pkg/arbitrum/connection.go`
- **Impact**: Bot cannot connect to Arbitrum network via WebSocket
- **Fix Required**: Use `ethclient.Dial()` for WebSocket connections, not HTTP client

### 2. Rate Limiting Catastrophe
**Severity**: CRITICAL | **Impact**: Service degradation and failures
**Total Occurrences**: 100,709 (67,841 current + 32,868 archived)

**Error Pattern**:
```
ERROR] Failed to get latest block header: 429 Too Many Requests:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":429,"message":"Too Many Requests"}}
```

**Affected Operations**:
- Block header fetching: 522 errors on primary endpoint
- Pool data queries: 86-79 errors per pool (multiple pools affected)
- Contract calls (slot0, liquidity, token0/1, fee): 15-86 errors per call type
- Transaction nonce retrieval: 11 errors preventing execution

**Evidence of Rate Limit Types**:
1. Chainstack RPS limit exceeded
2. Public RPC rate limits (60-second reset windows)
3. Blast API temporary failures
4. LlamaRPC endpoint failures

### 3. Zero Address Contamination
**Severity**: CRITICAL | **Impact**: Invalid event data, failed arbitrage detection
**Scope**: 100% of liquidity events compromised

**Evidence from liquidity_events_2025-10-29.jsonl**:
```json
{
  "token0Address": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "token1Address": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "factory": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"  // 29/49 events
}
```

**Impact Analysis**:
- All 49 liquidity events on 2025-10-29 have zero addresses
- 29 events (59%) also have zero factory addresses
- Swap event submissions show: `Tokens=0x00000000↔0x00000000`
- 5,462 zero address occurrences in archived logs

**Root Cause**: Token extraction logic in `pkg/arbitrum/abi_decoder.go` failing to parse addresses from transaction logs

### 4. DNS Resolution Failures
**Severity**: HIGH | **Impact**: Complete service outage during failures
**Occurrences**: 1,233+ instances

```
ERROR] Failed to get latest block header: Post "https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc":
dial tcp: lookup arb1.arbitrum.io: Temporary failure in name resolution
```

**Recent Failure Event** (2025-10-29 13:02:09):
- Network connectivity issues causing DNS lookup failures
- Affects primary Arbitrum RPC endpoints
- Connection health checks failing
- Reconnection attempts exhausted (3 retries, all failed)

## ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES (P1 - Fix Within 48h)

### 5. 100% Arbitrage Rejection Rate
**All detected opportunities rejected** - Zero executions

**Sample Rejection Data** (from opportunities log):
```
Estimated Profit: $-[AMOUNT_FILTERED]
netProfitETH: -0.000010
profitMargin: -658476.8487469736
rejectReason: negative profit after gas and slippage costs
```

**Patterns Identified**:
- Gas costs (0.000009 - 0.000011 ETH) exceed estimated profits
- Abnormal profit margins: `-106832.96`, `-69488.16`, `-33901.36`
- Price impacts ranging from `1e-28` to `98.47%` (extreme variance)
- Amount calculations showing zeros: `Amount In: 0.000000`, `Amount Out: 0.000000`

**Contributing Factors**:
1. Zero address issues corrupting price calculations
2. Incomplete pool data due to rate limiting
3. Gas cost estimation possibly inflated
4. Slippage tolerance too conservative

### 6. Connection Manager Failures
**Multiple endpoint failures cascading**

**Failed Endpoints**:
1. `wss://arbitrum-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/...` - Protocol scheme error
2. `https://arbitrum.llamarpc.com` - DNS lookup failure (1,233 errors)
3. `https://arbitrum-one.public.blastapi.io` - Temporary DNS failures (251 errors)
4. `https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc` - DNS resolution failures

**Reconnection Attempts**:
```
[WARN] ❌ Connection attempt 1 failed: all RPC endpoints failed to connect
[WARN] ❌ Connection attempt 2 failed: all RPC endpoints failed to connect
[WARN] ❌ Connection attempt 3 failed: all RPC endpoints failed to connect
[ERROR] Failed to reconnect: failed to connect after 3 attempts
```

**Impact**: 38 total reconnection failures

### 7. Port Binding Conflicts
**Severity**: MEDIUM | **Impact**: Monitoring/metrics unavailable

```
ERROR] Metrics server error: listen tcp :9090: bind: address already in use
ERROR] Dashboard server error: listen tcp :8080: bind: address already in use
```

**Occurrences**: 12 each for metrics and dashboard servers

## 🛠️ Technical Deep Dive

### Log Manager Script Bug
**File**: `scripts/log-manager.sh`
**Line**: 188
**Error**: `[: too many arguments`

**Context**:
```bash
local error_rate=$(echo "scale=2; $error_lines * 100 / $total_lines" | bc -l 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
# Line 188 likely has unquoted variable comparison
```

**Impact**: Script execution errors during log analysis

### Swap Event Data Quality
From `swap_events_2025-10-29.jsonl` (4.7 MB):
- Events are being captured with proper structure
- Token addresses are valid (non-zero)
- Price impacts calculated correctly
- Liquidity values present

**Inconsistency**: Swap events valid but liquidity events corrupted, suggesting different code paths

### System Resource Status
- **Log Directory Size**: 927 MB
- **Archived Logs**: 694 MB
- **Archives**: 132 MB (compressed)
- **Total Disk Usage**: 1.75 GB for logs
- **Growth Rate**: ~100-130 MB per day

## 📈 Performance Degradation Timeline

|------|-----------|------------|----------|
| Oct 27 | 3.0% | Moderate rate limiting | LOW |
| Oct 28 | 10.7% | Increased failures | MEDIUM |
| Oct 29 | 9.3% | Persistent rate limits | MEDIUM |
| Oct 30 | 81.1% | System critical | CRITICAL |

**Trend**: Exponential degradation over 4 days

## 🔬 Root Cause Analysis

### Primary Root Causes
1. **WebSocket Client Misconfiguration** → 9,065 connection errors
2. **Insufficient Rate Limiting** → 100,709 API throttling events
3. **Token Parsing Logic Failure** → 100% zero address contamination
4. **RPC Provider Selection** → Public endpoints with strict limits

### Contributing Factors
1. **No retry backoff strategy** → Amplified rate limiting
2. **Multiple concurrent pool queries** → RPC request flooding
3. **Lack of connection pooling** → Excessive new connections
4. **No local caching** → Repeated identical queries
5. **Aggressive health checks** → Additional API load

### Systemic Issues
1. **Health scoring incorrect** → Masking critical failures
2. **Error tracking incomplete** → Not counting all error types
3. **Alerting thresholds not met** → No alerts despite 81% error rate
4. **Log rotation insufficient** → 42 MB error log not archived

## 📊 Comparison: Expected vs. Actual

| Metric | Expected | Actual | Variance |
|--------|----------|--------|----------|
| Error Rate | <5% | 81.1% | +1522% |
| Successful Executions | >0 | 0 | -100% |
| Valid Liquidity Events | >0 | 0 | -100% |
| Health Score | <80 triggers alert | 100 | Broken metric |
| RPC Failures | <100/day | 100,709 | +100,609% |
| Zero Addresses | 0 | 5,462 | N/A |

## 🔄 Error Correlation Analysis

**Cascading Failure Pattern**:
```
WSS Connection Error → Fallback to HTTP RPC → Rate Limiting →
DNS Failures → Zero Addresses Returned → Invalid Opportunities →
No Executions → Revenue Loss
```

**Evidence**:
1. WSS errors occur first (9,065 instances)
2. HTTP fallback triggers rate limits (100,709 instances)
3. DNS failures compound connection issues (1,484 instances)
4. Corrupted data leads to invalid opportunities (100% rejection)

## 🎓 Lessons Learned

1. **Monitoring Must Be Reliable**: Current health score (100) despite 81% errors
2. **Rate Limiting Is Critical**: Public RPC endpoints insufficient for production
3. **Data Validation Essential**: Zero addresses should be rejected immediately
4. **Graceful Degradation Required**: System should handle RPC failures better
5. **Error Tracking Accuracy**: All error types must feed into health metrics
