## 📊 MONITORING & HEALTH CHECKS

### **System Health Monitoring:**

```bash
# Check overall system health
curl http://localhost:7860/api/status

# Response:
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "timestamp": "2025-11-11T12:00:00Z",
  "database": "connected",
  "total_providers": 40,

    "CryptoPanic": {"staleness_minutes": 8.5, "status": "fresh"}
  }
}
```

---

## 🔧 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

### **Schedule Intervals** (in `app.py` startup):

```python
interval_map = {
    'market_data': 'every_1_min',        # BTC/ETH/BNB prices
    'blockchain_explorers': 'every_5_min', # Gas prices, network stats
    'news': 'every_10_min',              # News articles
    'sentiment': 'every_15_min',         # Fear & Greed Index
    'onchain_analytics': 'every_5_min',  # On-chain metrics
    'rpc_nodes': 'every_5_min',          # Block heights
}
```

**To modify**:
1. Edit the interval_map in `app.py` (lines 123-131)
2. Restart the application
3. Changes will be reflected in schedule compliance tracking

### **Rate Limits** (in `config.py`):

Each provider has configured rate limits:
- **CoinGecko**: 50 calls/minute
- **Etherscan**: 5 calls/second
- **CoinMarketCap**: 100 calls/hour
- **NewsAPI**: 200 calls/day

**Warning alerts** trigger at **80% usage**.

## 🗃️ DATABASE MANAGEMENT

### **Database Location:**
```
data/api_monitor.db
```

### **Backup Strategy:**

```bash
# Manual backup
cp data/api_monitor.db data/api_monitor_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).db

# Automated daily backup (add to crontab)
0 2 * * * cp /home/user/crypto-dt-source/data/api_monitor.db \
  /home/user/crypto-dt-source/data/backups/api_monitor_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d).db

# Keep last 30 days
find /home/user/crypto-dt-source/data/backups/ -name "api_monitor_*.db" \
  -mtime +30 -delete
```

### **Database Size Expectations:**
- **Day 1**: ~10-20 MB
- **Week 1**: ~50-100 MB
- **Month 1**: ~100-500 MB (depending on data retention)

### **Data Retention:**
Current configuration retains **all historical data** indefinitely. To implement cleanup:

```python
# Add to monitoring/scheduler.py
def cleanup_old_data():
    """Remove data older than 90 days"""
    cutoff = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=90)

    # Clean old connection attempts
    db_manager.delete_old_attempts(cutoff)

    # Clean old system metrics
    db_manager.delete_old_metrics(cutoff)
```

---

## 🔒 SECURITY BEST PRACTICES

### ✅ **Already Implemented:**

1. **API Keys**: Loaded from environment variables
2. **Key Masking**: Sensitive data masked in logs
3. **SQLAlchemy ORM**: Protected against SQL injection
4. **CORS**: Configured for cross-origin requests
5. **Input Validation**: Pydantic models for request validation

### ⚠️ **Production Hardening** (Optional but Recommended):

#### **1. Add Authentication** (if exposing to internet):

```bash
# Install dependencies
pip install python-jose[cryptography] passlib[bcrypt]

# Implement JWT authentication
# See: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/security/oauth2-jwt/
```

#### **2. Enable HTTPS**:

```bash
# Using Let's Encrypt with Nginx reverse proxy
sudo apt install nginx certbot python3-certbot-nginx

# Configure Nginx
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/crypto-hub

# Nginx config:
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your-domain.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name your-domain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:7860;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

# Enable and test
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/crypto-hub /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx

# Get certificate
sudo certbot --nginx -d your-domain.com
```

#### **3. Firewall Configuration**:

```bash
# Allow only necessary ports
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp    # SSH
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp    # HTTP
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp   # HTTPS
sudo ufw enable
```

#### **4. Rate Limiting** (Prevent abuse):

Add to `app.py`:
```python
from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)

@app.get("/api/status")
@limiter.limit("10/minute")  # Max 10 requests per minute
async def get_status(request: Request):
    ...
```

---

## 📈 SCALING CONSIDERATIONS

### **Current Capacity:**
- **Concurrent WebSocket Connections**: 50+ tested
- **API Requests**: ~500/minute (depending on provider rate limits)
- **Database**: SQLite handles ~100k records/month efficiently

### **When to Scale:**

#### **Migrate to PostgreSQL** when:
- Database size > 1 GB
- Need multiple application instances
- Require advanced querying/analytics

```bash
# PostgreSQL setup
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib

# Update database/db.py connection string
DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://user:password@localhost/crypto_hub"
```

#### **Add Redis Caching** when:
- Response times > 500ms
- High read load on database
- Need distributed rate limiting

```bash
# Install Redis
sudo apt install redis-server

# Update config to use Redis for caching
pip install redis aioredis
```

#### **Kubernetes Deployment** for:
- High availability requirements
- Auto-scaling needs
- Multi-region deployment

## 🧪 TESTING YOUR DEPLOYMENT

### **1. Health Check:**

```bash
curl http://localhost:7860/health

# Expected: {"status":"healthy","timestamp":"..."}
```

### **2. Database Verification:**

```bash
# Check database exists
ls -lh data/api_monitor.db

# Query provider count
sqlite3 data/api_monitor.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM providers;"

# Expected: 40+ providers
```

### **3. API Functionality:**

```bash
# Test market data
curl http://localhost:7860/api/status | jq

# Test provider health
curl http://localhost:7860/api/providers | jq

# Test WebSocket (using wscat)
npm install -g wscat
wscat -c ws://localhost:7860/ws/master
```

### **4. Data Collection Verification:**

```bash
# Check recent data collections
sqlite3 data/api_monitor.db \
  "SELECT provider_id, category, actual_fetch_time FROM data_collections \
   ORDER BY actual_fetch_time DESC LIMIT 10;"

# Should show recent timestamps (last 1-15 minutes depending on schedule)
```

### **5. Scheduler Status:**

```bash
curl http://localhost:7860/api/schedule | jq

# Check compliance:
# - on_time_count should be > 0
# - on_time_percentage should be > 80%
```

---

## 🐛 TROUBLESHOOTING

### **Common Issues:**

#### **1. "Database not found" error:**

```bash
# Create data directory
mkdir -p data

# Restart application (database auto-initializes)
python app.py
```

#### **2. "API key not configured" warnings:**

```bash
# Check .env file exists
ls -la .env

# Verify API keys are set
grep -v "^#" .env | grep "KEY"

# Restart application to reload .env
```

#### **3. High rate limit usage:**

```bash
# Check current rate limits
curl http://localhost:7860/api/rate-limits

# If > 80%, reduce schedule frequency in app.py
# Change 'every_1_min' to 'every_5_min' for example
```

#### **4. WebSocket connection fails:**

```bash
# Check if port 7860 is open
netstat -tuln | grep 7860

# Check CORS settings in app.py
# Ensure your domain is allowed
```

#### **5. Slow response times:**

```bash
# Check database size
ls -lh data/api_monitor.db

# If > 500MB, implement data cleanup
# Add retention policy (see Database Management section)
```
