Run a comprehensive health check on the betfair-bot. Work through each section systematically and provide a summary dashboard at the end.

VPS Details

• •Server: 149.102.144.190
• •SSH Key: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps
• •Container: betfair-bot (also betfair-db for database)

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "docker compose -f /opt/betfair-bot/docker-compose.yml logs --tail 100 betfair-bot 2>&1"
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "docker logs betfair-bot 2>&1 | grep -iE 'error|warn|fail|session|expired' | tail -20"

3. SIGNAL GENERATION

• •Is the bot actively monitoring markets?
• •What was the last bet placed and when?
• •Check database for recent activity

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "ls -la /opt/betfair-bot/data/"
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "docker exec betfair-bot cat /app/data/state.json 2>/dev/null || echo 'No state file'"

4. PERFORMANCE METRICS

• •Check current market subscriptions
• •Review recent betting P&L from database
• •Check today's results

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "docker exec betfair-db psql -U betfair -d betfair -c 'SELECT COUNT(*) as bets, SUM(CASE WHEN profit > 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as wins, SUM(profit) as total_profit FROM bets WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';' 2>/dev/null || echo 'No DB access'"
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "docker exec betfair-bot cat /app/data/daily_stats.json 2>/dev/null || echo 'No daily stats'"

5. SYSTEM RESOURCES

• •RAM usage, disk space, CPU usage

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "free -h && echo '---' && df -h / && echo '---' && top -bn1 | head -12"

6. CONFIGURATION REVIEW

• •Check key environment variables are set correctly

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_vps root@149.102.144.190 "grep -E 'ENABLE_|MODE|STRATEGY|STAKE' /opt/betfair-bot/.env 2>/dev/null | head -15"
