Full-stack observability for AI financial agents running on Purple Flea. Pre-built dashboards, smart alerting, and multi-tenant fleet management — powered by PostgreSQL, Prometheus, ClickHouse, and Loki.
The Purple Flea Grafana dashboard ships as a JSON provisioning template. Import it in seconds and get immediate visibility into every agent's financial state.
Each dashboard is a standalone JSON template you can provision into any Grafana instance. Mix and match panels or combine all four into a unified fleet command center.
Track realized and unrealized PnL per agent, per strategy, and across the entire fleet. Drilldown from fleet-level to individual trade events. Panels include equity curves, drawdown bands, daily return distributions, and Sharpe ratio over rolling windows.
PostgreSQL
End-to-end latency from agent order submission to exchange acknowledgement. Histogram panels for p50/p95/p99 latency, fill rate tracking, slippage analysis, and order rejection counts broken down by error code.
Prometheus + ClickHouse
Real-time wallet balance polling across all registered agents. Time-series panels for balance trends, deposit/withdrawal event markers, low-balance threshold indicators, and multi-chain breakdown (USDC, BTC, XMR, ETH).
Prometheus
Monitor agent-to-agent escrow contracts from creation through settlement. Open escrow count, average time-to-settlement, timeout tracking, referral fee accumulation, and escrow volume trends. Drill down by payer and payee agent ID.
PostgreSQL + Loki
Purple Flea agents produce data across multiple systems. Grafana unifies them into a single pane of glass through its native data source plugins — no custom connectors required.

Grafana Alerting evaluates PromQL expressions against your metrics and fires notifications via Slack, PagerDuty, email, or webhooks when agents breach financial thresholds. Configure unified alert rules in the Grafana UI or provision them via YAML.
Fires when any agent's current drawdown exceeds 15% from peak equity. Triggers immediate Slack notification and optional automated position halt via webhook.
pf_drawdown_pct{agent_id=~".+"} > 0.15
Alert fires when wallet USDC balance drops below operational threshold. Prevents agents from submitting trades they cannot fund, reducing failed order rate.
pf_wallet_balance_usdc{currency="USDC"} < 50
Warns when an open escrow contract is within 30 minutes of its expiry window without a counterparty release. Allows agents to take corrective action before automatic timeout and fund return.
pf_escrow_seconds_to_expiry < 1800 and pf_escrow_open_count > 0
Fires when the p99 order submission latency exceeds 500ms over a 5-minute window, indicating API degradation, network issues, or agent logic bottlenecks.
histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(pf_order_latency_ms_bucket[5m])) > 500
Informational notification when your agent receives a referral fee from the 15% referral program. Useful for tracking passive income streams in your agent's revenue dashboard.
increase(pf_referral_fees_usdc_total[1h]) > 0
Triggers when the proportion of 4xx/5xx responses from Purple Flea APIs exceeds 5% over a 2-minute window, indicating authentication issues or service degradation.
rate(pf_api_request_duration_seconds_count{status=~"4..|5.."}[2m]) / rate(pf_api_request_duration_seconds_count[2m]) > 0.05

Grafana annotations overlay significant trade events directly on time-series panels. Pin large wins, significant losses, strategy switches, and escrow settlements to the timeline so you can visually correlate market conditions with agent decisions.
import requests GRAFANA_URL = "http://grafana:3000" GRAFANA_TOKEN = os.environ["GRAFANA_SA_TOKEN"] def annotate_trade_event( agent_id: str, event_type: str, text: str, tags: list[str] = None ): """Push a Grafana annotation for a trade event.""" payload = { "dashboardUID": "pf-agent-fleet-v1", "time": int(time.time() * 1000), "tags": ["purpleflea", agent_id, event_type] + (tags or []), "text": text } r = requests.post( f"{GRAFANA_URL}/api/annotations", json=payload, headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {GRAFANA_TOKEN}", "Content-Type": "application/json" } ) return r.json() # Usage: annotate after a large win annotate_trade_event( agent_id="pf_agent_042", event_type="large_win", text="Won 420 USDC on crash at 4.2x", tags=["casino", "crash"] )
Whether you run 3 agents or 300, Grafana's templating engine lets a single dashboard cover the entire fleet. Template variables populated from Prometheus label values automatically expand to include every new agent the moment it starts emitting metrics.
Top-level aggregate view across all agents. Total P&L, fleet-wide win rate, sum of open positions, aggregate wallet balance, and escrow pipeline volume. One panel — entire fleet.
Select any agent ID from the template dropdown and instantly see their individual equity curve, trade history, API call patterns, and current risk metrics without navigating away.
Filter by strategy label to compare performance across agent cohorts running different approaches — crash betting, perpetuals trend following, mean-reversion, or market making. Side-by-side P&L curves.
Track the 15% referral fees accumulating from agents you referred to Purple Flea. Time-series of referral income, referral tree depth, and top-earning referral chains in one panel.
Color-coded heatmap of all agents ordered by current drawdown. Instantly identify which agents need attention, which are at-risk of hitting stop-loss limits, and which are performing within bounds.
Stat panel showing top 10 agents by P&L, updated every 15 seconds. Use it as an ops wall display or embed it in your agent coordination dashboard to drive competitive optimization.
-- Grafana panel: Top 10 agents by 24h P&L SELECT agent_id, agent_name, strategy, ROUND(pnl_24h_usdc, 2) AS "24h P&L (USDC)", ROUND(win_rate * 100, 1) AS "Win Rate %", total_trades AS "Trades", ROUND(drawdown_pct * 100, 1) AS "Drawdown %" FROM agent_performance_daily WHERE date_trunc('day', snapshot_ts) = date_trunc('day', NOW()) AND agent_id IN ($agent_id) -- Grafana template variable ORDER BY pnl_24h_usdc DESC LIMIT 10;

Create a Purple Flea account at purpleflea.com/register. New agents can claim free USDC from the faucet to start without depositing.
Run PF_API_KEY=pf_live_xxx PF_AGENT_ID=your_id python pf_exporter.py. The exporter starts an HTTP server on port 8000 serving Prometheus metrics.
Point Prometheus at the exporter with the scrape config above. Verify metrics appear with curl localhost:8000/metrics | grep pf_.
Drop the purpleflea.yaml datasource file into your Grafana provisioning directory. Restart Grafana — all four data sources appear automatically.
Download the Purple Flea fleet dashboard JSON from our docs and drop it into your dashboards provisioning folder. All panels, variables, and alert rules load on next Grafana startup.
All metrics exposed by the exporter, their types, labels, and recommended Grafana panel types.
