NOTE: THIS PROJECT IS BETA SOFTWARE.
For configuration details for The Graph Network and the testnet, see the Mainnet and Testnet Configuration docs.
An overview of Scalar, a microtransaction framework for query fees, can be found here.
The indexer service, agent and CLI can be installed as NPM packages, using
npm install -g @graphprotocol/indexer-service
npm install -g @graphprotocol/indexer-agent
# Indexer CLI is a plugin for Graph CLI, so both need to be installed:
npm install -g @graphprotocol/graph-cli
npm install -g @graphprotocol/indexer-cliAfter that, they can be run with the following commands:
# Indexer service
graph-indexer-service start ...
# Indexer agent
graph-indexer-agent start ...
# Indexer CLI
graph indexer ...$ graph-indexer-service start --help

...

indexer rules start (always) Always index a deployment (and start indexing it if necessary)
indexer rules prepare (offchain) Offchain index a deployment (good practice to prepare indexing)
indexer rules set Set one or more indexing rules
indexer rules maybe Index a deployment based on rules
indexer rules get Get one or more indexing rules
indexer rules delete Remove one or many indexing rules
indexer rules clear (reset) Clear one or more indexing rules
indexer disputes POI monitoring
indexer disputes get Cross-check POIs submitted in the network
indexer cost Manage costing for subgraphs
indexer cost set variables Update cost model variables
indexer cost set model Update a cost model
indexer cost get Get cost models and/or variables for one or all subgraphs
indexer connect Connect to indexer management API
indexer Manage indexer configurationRun the following at the root of this repository to install dependencies and build the packages:
yarnAfter this, the indexer service and agent can be run with:
# Indexer service
cd packages/indexer-service
./bin/graph-indexer-service start ...
# Indexer agent
cd packages/indexer-service
./bin/graph-indexer-service start ...The easiest way to run the indexer service agent is by using Docker. Docker images can either be pulled via
docker pull ghcr.io/graphprotocol/indexer-service:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/graphprotocol/indexer-agent:latestor built locally with
# Indexer service
docker build \
-f Dockerfile.indexer-service \
-t indexer-service:latest \
.
# Indexer agent
docker build \
-f Dockerfile.indexer-agent \
-t indexer-agent:latest \
.After this, the indexer agent and service can be run as follows:
-
Indexer service:
docker run -p 7600:7600 -it indexer-service:latest ...
After this, the indexer service should be up and running at http://localhost:7600/.
-
Indexer Agent
docker run -p 18000:8000 -it indexer-agent:latest ...
This starts the indexer agent and serves the so-called indexer management API on the host at port 18000.
The terraform/ and k8s/ directories provide a complete example setup for running an indexer on the Google Cloud Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This setup was also used as the reference setup in the Mission Control testnet and can be a good starting point for those looking to run the indexer in a virtualized environment.
Check out the terraform README for details on how to get started.
This repository is managed using Lerna and Yarn workspaces.
chan is used to maintain the following changelogs:
Creating a new release involves the following steps:
-
Update all changelogs:
pushd packages/indexer-service chan added ... chan fixed ... chan changed ... popd pushd packages/indexer-agent ... popd pushd packages/indexer-cli ... popd pushd packages/indexer-common ... popd
-
Publish the release. This includes committing the changelogs, tagging the new version and publishing packages on npmjs.com.
