Incident Report: Manta Low Balance Alert RPC Failure

Date: 2024-08-21
Time: 09:34 (GMT+3)
Duration: 1.5 Minutes in repeated interval

Description

Critical wallet balance alert appears but description of the alert changes into "Closable" after few seconds. It keeps re-opening after closing it.

Root Cause

One of our RPC's for Manta was having an unanticipated issue. That RPC was switching inbetween other chains from time to time, therefore it was answering with wrong information from a different chain which triggers an alert.

Impact

Didn't have a major impact.

Timeline

  • 09:34 - First noticed the issue.
  • 09:45 - Initial diagnosis.
  • 09:59 - Started the fix.
  • Next day - Issue resolved.

Lessons Learned

There is a bug with some of the RPCs which cause them switching inbetween chains.

Actions Taken

From now on, for each call from the RPC there will be an indicator of blocknumber and chainid of that call.
