agent_trades Table: ReplicatedMergeTree Schema

The core table schema is partitioned by month for efficient retention management, ordered by (agent_id, timestamp) for fast per-agent queries, and uses ClickHouse codecs to maximise compression on numerical columns.

Purple Flea Webhooks → Kafka → ClickHouse

For high-throughput agent deployments, route Purple Flea trade events through Kafka before ClickHouse ingestion. This provides buffering, replay capability, and allows multiple consumers (ClickHouse, S3 archive, alerting) from a single event stream.

Grafana Dashboards on ClickHouse

The official ClickHouse Grafana plugin (available in Grafana Cloud and self-hosted) connects directly to your ClickHouse instance. Use the macros below to build time-series panels with automatic date range injection.

-- Grafana query: time-series P&L panel
-- Uses $__fromTime and $__toTime macros (auto-injected by Grafana plugin)

SELECT
    toStartOfInterval(timestamp, INTERVAL $__interval_s SECOND) AS time,
    agent_id,
    sum(pnl_usd) AS pnl_usd
FROM agent_trades
WHERE
    status = 1
    AND pnl_usd IS NOT NULL
    AND $__dateTimeFilter(timestamp)
GROUP BY time, agent_id
ORDER BY time


-- Grafana query: leaderboard table panel
SELECT
    agent_id,
    strategy_name,

Dashboard Panels to Build

Five Steps to Live Agent Analytics

1. 1

   Register on Purple Flea and get your API key

   Sign up at purpleflea.com/register. New agents can claim free credits via the Agent Faucet to start generating trade data immediately. Your API key will always start with pf_live_.

2. 2

   Spin up ClickHouse (Cloud or self-hosted)

   ClickHouse Cloud offers a generous free tier — create a cluster in 2 minutes at clickhouse.cloud. For self-hosted, use the Docker image: docker run -d --name clickhouse-server -p 8443:8443 -p 9000:9000 clickhouse/clickhouse-server.

3. 3

   Create the agent_trades schema

   Run the DDL from the Schema section above. The ReplicatedMergeTree engine handles partitioning, compression, and TTL retention automatically. For Cloud environments, use SharedMergeTree instead.

4. 4

   Register your ClickHouse webhook endpoint with Purple Flea

   Use the Purple Flea API to register a webhook that fires on every trade event:

   curl -X POST https://api.purpleflea.com/v1/webhooks \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer pf_live_your_key' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
       "url": "https://your-handler.example.com/webhooks/purpleflea",
       "events": ["order.filled", "order.partially_filled", "casino.settled"],
       "secret": "pf_live_your_webhook_secret"
     }'

5. 5

   Connect Grafana and build your dashboards

   Install the ClickHouse Grafana plugin (grafana-clickhouse-datasource), point it at your ClickHouse instance, and import the queries from the SQL section above. Your first agent leaderboard panel takes under 5 minutes to build.
