Lots of net_peercount errors on Alchemy node
georgandreasjaksch opened this issue · 7 comments
I'm using the latest Docker version and it appears that using Alchemy as an upstream node produces a lot of the following errors:
Code: | -32601
-- | --
Message: | Unsupported method [net_peerCount]. See available methods at https://docs.alchemy.com/alchemy/documentation/apis
In the yaml it's not included in the list of supported methods as well as validation is gererally set to False.
Any idea what‘s wrong here?
See my reply on #152 (comment)
Had to disable Alchemy WS and just use JSON-RPC to bypass this.
@georgandreasjaksch I guess it's a bug, it should not send net_peerCount if validation is disabled. Do you have it configured as a global option per blockchain or only for that specific upstream?
@splix I just set it individually for that upstream not as a global option. I'll give this a go and also try to remove the WS part from Alchemy config. Thx
I can confirm that the issue is still present in 0.13.0 (using the Docker image). Here is the upstream config I'm using:
upstreams:
- id: alchemy-eth
chain: ethereum
priority: 100
options:
disable-validation: true
labels:
provider: alchemy
archive: true
connection:
ethereum:
rpc:
url: "https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/${ALCHEMY_USER}"
ws:
url: "wss://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/${ALCHEMY_USER}"I still see a lot of net_peerCount requests in Alchemy's explorer, and in Dshackle logs I get the following:

From what I can tell disable-validation is not respected in the WebSocket connection. validate-peers is though, and can be used to work around this:
upstreams:
- id: alchemy-eth
chain: ethereum
priority: 100
options:
validate-peers: false
labels:
provider: alchemy
archive: true
connection:
ethereum:
rpc:
url: "https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/${ALCHEMY_USER}"
ws:
url: "wss://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/${ALCHEMY_USER}"I confirm, this removes the net_peerCount calls and works with Alchemy! Thanks, @nlordell!
However, I see a lot of errors after it starts, while this is not the case with Infura for instance.
I'm testing with 0.13.1 this time.

I am also seeing the occasional:
2022-03-11 08:01:15.241 | WARN | WsConnection | Failed to process WS message. class java.lang.IllegalStateException: State is not ready
It seems to happen reliably every 30s. My theory is that it may be something specific to the WebSocket server on the Alchemy side (I don't see this for local Geth connections or Infura for example).
