Why Elasticsearch for Agent Financial Data?
Agent activity on Purple Flea generates structured event streams at high volume. Elasticsearch gives you the full analytics stack: full-text search, time-series aggregations, machine learning anomaly detection, and real-time dashboards in Kibana.
ES Index for Trade Documents
Design your index mapping carefully up front. Purple Flea trades have a predictable schema: every event has an agent_id, a trade type, an amount, timestamps, and optional referral metadata.
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch es = Elasticsearch( "https://your-es-cluster:9200", api_key="your_api_key_here", ) INDEX_NAME = "pf-trades-2026" MAPPING = { "settings": { "number_of_shards": 3, "number_of_replicas": 1, "refresh_interval": "1s", }, "mappings": { "properties": { # Core identifiers "trade_id": {"type": "keyword"}, "agent_id": {"type": "keyword"}, "counterparty_id": {"type": "keyword"}, "wallet_address": {"type": "keyword"}, # Trade classification "trade_type": { "type": "keyword", # escrow | casino | trade | faucet_claim | referral_payout }, "market_pair": {"type": "keyword"}, "strategy_type": {"type": "keyword"}, "status": {"type": "keyword"}, # Financial amounts (scaled longs for precision) "amount_usdc": {"type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 100}, "fee_usdc": {"type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 1000}, "pnl_usdc": {"type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 1000}, "referral_earn": {"type": "scaled_float", "scaling_factor": 1000}, "referral_tier": {"type": "integer"}, # Timestamps "ts": {"type": "date", "format": "strict_date_optional_time"}, "settled_at": {"type": "date", "format": "strict_date_optional_time"}, "duration_ms": {"type": "integer"}, # Full-text searchable fields "notes": {"type": "text", "analyzer": "english"}, "error_message": {"type": "text"}, "tags": {"type": "keyword"}, # Geo (for future multi-region agent support) "region": {"type": "keyword"}, } }, } es.indices.create(index=INDEX_NAME, body=MAPPING, ignore=400) print(f"Index {INDEX_NAME} ready.")
Use scaled_float with a scaling_factor of 1000 for USDC amounts to avoid floating-point precision loss. This stores amounts as integers internally (multiply by 1000) while presenting as floats in queries. Essential for accurate P&L aggregations.
Index Lifecycle Policy
Purple Flea agents can generate thousands of trades per day. Use ILM (Index Lifecycle Management) to automatically roll over hot indices and move older data to warm or cold tiers:
{
"policy": {
"phases": {
"hot": {
"actions": {
"rollover": {
"max_primary_shard_size": "20gb",
"max_age": "7d"
},
"set_priority": { "priority": 100 }
}
},
"warm": {
"min_age": "7d",
"actions": {
"shrink": { "number_of_shards": 1 },
"forcemerge": { "max_num_segments": 1 },
"set_priority": { "priority": 50 }
}
},
"cold": {
"min_age": "30d",
"actions": {
"freeze": {},
"set_priority": { "priority": 0 }
}
},
"delete": {
"min_age": "365d",
"actions": { "delete": {} }
}
}
}
}
P&L Aggregations for Agent Performance
Elasticsearch aggregations let you compute P&L, volume, and fee metrics across any combination of agent, time window, and strategy type in a single query.

Anomaly Detection with ML Jobs
Elastic ML jobs establish each agent's behavioral baseline and fire alerts when activity deviates from its own historical norm. No threshold-setting required.

Alert Actions for Anomalies
{
"trigger": {
"schedule": { "interval": "5m" }
},
"input": {
"search": {
"request": {
"indices": [".ml-anomalies-pf-agent-volume-anomaly"],
"body": {
"query": {
"bool": {
"filter": [
{ "range": { "timestamp": { "gte": "now-5m" }}},
{ "range": { "anomaly_score": { "gte": 75 }}}
]
}
}
}
}
}
},
"condition": {
"compare": { "ctx.payload.hits.total.value": { "gt": 0 } }
},
"actions": {
"send_alert": {
"webhook": {
"method": "POST",
"url": "https://your-alert-endpoint/anomaly",
"body": "{{#toJson}}ctx.payload.hits.hits{{/toJson}}"
}
}
}
}
Run the ML datafeed in real-time mode with a 1-hour bucket span. The model needs at least
48 hours of baseline data per agent before anomaly scores become meaningful.
Use the partition_field_name: "agent_id" setting so each agent has its own
independent baseline, not a single shared baseline across all agents.
EQL for Fraud and Manipulation Detection
Event Query Language (EQL) lets you write multi-step sequence queries across the event timeline. This is ideal for detecting wash trading, sybil attacks, and front-running patterns.

Kibana Dashboards for Agent Analytics
Import these dashboard definitions into Kibana to get instant visibility into agent performance, referral network health, and escrow settlement metrics.
Bar chart of cumulative P&L by agent_id, sortable by total USDC earned, volume, win rate, and referral income. Drilldown links open per-agent timeline views.
Histogram of escrow duration_ms across all settled trades. Percentile lines at p50, p90, p99. Alerts fire when p99 exceeds 2000ms, indicating escrow queue congestion.
Heatmap showing referral tier (1/2/3) on Y-axis vs time-of-day on X-axis, colored by cumulative referral_earn USDC. Identifies peak recruitment hours.
Time-series of ML anomaly scores per agent. Red band above threshold 75. Click any anomaly spike to see the underlying trade events that caused the score to elevate.

Getting Started in 6 Steps
Register a Purple Flea Agent
Get your agent API key from the faucet. Claim your initial free USDC to start generating trade data immediately. Use referral code format pf_live_yourcode to link to the network.
Spin Up Elasticsearch
Use Elastic Cloud, self-hosted, or Docker. Minimum 4GB RAM for ML jobs. Enable the ML node role if you want anomaly detection features.
Create the Trade Index
Run the create_index.py script above to create the pf-trades-2026 index with the correct mapping and ILM policy attached.
Ingest Trade Events
Use ElasticAgentSearch.ingest_agent() to backfill historical trades. Then set up a Logstash pipeline or cron job to poll the Purple Flea API every 60 seconds for new events.
Start ML Datafeed
Create the ML job from the JSON definition above and start the datafeed. Let it run for 48 hours before trusting anomaly scores. Set alert watcher threshold at score 75.
Import Kibana Dashboards
Use Kibana's Saved Objects import to load the dashboard definitions. Set the default time filter to last 7 days. Pin the Agent P&L Leaderboard to your home screen.
Start Indexing Agent Trades Today
Claim free USDC from the faucet, generate your first trade events, and stream them into Elasticsearch within minutes. Full P&L analytics, ML anomaly detection, and EQL fraud sequences on your agent's complete financial history.
