Check if gateway is running: `ss -ltnp | grep 18789` +2. Verify firewall settings: `sudo ufw status` +3. Check logs: `tail -f /tmp/moltbot-gateway.log` +4. Restart gateway: `pkill -9 -f moltbot-gateway && nohup moltbot gateway run &` + +#### Session Timeouts + +**Issue:** Sessions disconnect unexpectedly. + +**Configuration:** +```json +{ + "session": { + "timeout": 7200, + "heartbeatInterval": 30, + "reconnectAttempts": 3 + } +} +``` + +#### Tool Execution Failures + +**Debugging Steps:** +1. Check tool permissions in sandbox +2. Verify tool parameters match schema +3. Examine tool logs: `moltbot logs --tool ` +4. Test tool isolation: `moltbot tool test ` + +### Performance Issues + +#### High Memory Usage + +**Monitoring:** +```bash +# Check memory usage +ps aux | grep moltbot +# Monitor with htop +htop -p $(pgrep moltbot) +``` + +**Optimization:** +- Reduce concurrent sessions +- Enable memory limits in sandbox +- Use connection pooling for databases +- Implement caching for frequent operations + +#### Slow Response Times + +**Profiling:** +```typescript +import { PerformanceMonitor } from '@moltbot/core';

+}); +``` + +### Database Optimization + +#### Query Optimization + +```sql +-- Bad: Multiple queries +SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?; +SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = ?; + +-- Good: Single query with JOIN +SELECT u.*, p.* +FROM users u +LEFT JOIN posts p ON u.id = p.user_id +WHERE u.id = ?; +``` + +#### Indexing Strategy + +```sql +-- Create indexes for frequently queried columns +CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email); +CREATE INDEX idx_posts_user_id_created_at ON posts(user_id, created_at DESC); +CREATE INDEX idx_sessions_last_active ON sessions(last_active); +``` + +#### Connection Optimization + +```typescript +const dbConfig = { + host: 'localhost', + port: 5432, + database: 'moltbot', + user: 'moltbot', + password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD, + max: 20, // Maximum connections + min: 5, // Minimum connections + idleTimeoutMillis: 30000, + connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000 +};
