@pyropy and @juliangruber -- planning a sync on where we are and put togethe rmy understanding of what's already been done against what was in the spec. I have not been close to the auction work @pyropy and @jennijuju were working on.

Can @pyropy and @jennijuju help me to frame what is considered done, what is open, I am not close enough to any outstanding blockers and just piecing things together. If we can get this clean prior to a sync call for the ambiguous areas, that would help so much, thanks!

Main GA scope that we aimed to cover was:

• Adding three metrics (FIL & USDFC locked, FIL & USDFC transacted and FIL burned) to Filecoin Pay dashboard
• Defining these three metrics
• Adding AGENTS.md to Filecoin Pay Explorer to enable PMs to "vibe code"
• Hiding existing metrics in favor of the three mentioned metrics
• Monitoring of auction stats (USDFC available for auction, USDFC / FIL auction price, profitability ratio)
• Auction bot that participates in the auctions when the auction price is equal to or lower than USDFC / FIL price on sushiswap
• Internal tool for researchers to bid on the auctions
• Adding monitoring and alerting to the subgraph

Out of aforementioned items we've closed everything except the "FIL Burned" metric due to Lotus bug and Goldsky not enabling traces on Calibration (Orjan was pushing these efforts and I believe that they've been resolved by now) and the production readiness issues.

This was an original set of created after establishing XFN-221:

filecoin-pay-explorer:

• Determine GA scope #77
• Auction stats for GA #80
• https://github.com/FilOzone/filecoin-pay-explorer/issues/81
• metrics criteria has been reviewed and accepted by engineering #85
• Setup how we're exposing our subgraph to pay.filecoin.cloud #87
• Add entity for OneTimePayment #89
• bug: rail lockup calculation error #93
• Add "Total transacted per token" metric for GA #95
• Add subgraph production monitoring and alerting for GA #96
• Hide non-GA metrics on pay.filecoin.cloud #97

filecoin-pay:

• Fee auction monitoring tools filecoin-pay#251
• Display auction pool token balance for GA filecoin-pay#275
• Display current auction price for GA filecoin-pay#276
• Display auction profitability indicator for GA filecoin-pay#277
• Create internal manual bidding tool for GA testing filecoin-pay#278

NOTE: #104 should close 3a, 3b and 3c

Notes from call:

@silent-cipher -- Subgraph deployment to unblock the auction fee reporting;
Add @juliangruber to the Goldsky account

TotalFil Locked across the payment rails:

https://github.com/FilOzone/filecoin-pay-explorer/blob/main/METRIC-DEFINITIONS.md

Background:

Settled USDFC;
Locked is the USDFC settled precursor

FIL metrics are payments in FIL

[timfong888]

Add an update on what we do with Grafana. The end user experience will be a custom dashboard on pay.

@juliangruber let me know once you've reviewed this and we can sync.

Revision from talking again with @pyropy :

There is no custom dashboard on pay.

There is no routing for pay.filecoin.cloud (such as a CNAME).

[timfong888]

End state:

1. pay.cloud.filecoin is the destination site where the User can get the metrics defined above
2. we want to close the gap on what is in Grafana and what is accessible on pay.cloud.filecoin

[timfong888]

Still open for this to be closed:

1. feat: collect auction FIL burned stats #104 - this will allow us to access metrics related to the auction via a subgraph
2. A spike to ensure BetterStack is the fastest path to take the Grafana data public - we cannot use public Grafana per @SgtPooki so the original plan per @pyropy of Grafana as the public dashboard is not viable.
3. By definition, if we are using BetterStack via a re-direct or a subname (my preference), then the console flow is also not feasible and will not be part of the release (this was not part of the original definition for GA anyway)
