Question About Parity & Traces

[io-raid]

Hi, I had a couple of questions regarding the required Parity setup for eth-etl.

To export all data from the eth chain with eth-etl (blocks & txs, receipts and logs, token transfers, contracts, and traces), what sort of config is needed for the Parity node?

My assumption is that we would need --pruning archive and --tracing on flags for the node, is this correct?

Also, does eth-etl only work with Parity if I want to get all data (including full traces data)? Wouldn't this be a problem since Parity has now shifted to OpenEthereum - does eth-etl also work with OpenEthereum?

@medvedev1088 could you please provide some insight into this? Also wondering if it is possible to use eth-etl with OpenEthereum 3.1.0. Thank you 🙂

@io-raid we use parity/parity:v2.7.2-stable, I believe it will work with open ethereum too.

The config we use is --pruning auto and --tracing on

Ah I see thank you! And I imagine --pruning auto would default to fast in your case?

correct it's --pruning fast actually
