The "filter not found" error typically occurs when a filter that was created to track events in a blockchain node has expired or is not available due to changes in the infrastructure on our end.
It's important to note that filters are short-lived and isolated to a specific blockchain node. If the filter is not utilized within 5-minute, it will expire.
- To prevent this, you should periodically poll eth_getFilterChanges within 5-minute timeframes.
At Chainstack, we use a cluster-based infrastructure for load balancing purposes on our Elastic Nodes. Nodes are excluded from the infrastructure whenever they fall behind the tip within a healthy threshold. If the node you are connected to gets dropped, you will be reconnected to a different and healthy node, which means that the previously created filter will not be available anymore.
To resolve the "filter not found" error:
We recommend implementing an error handler to recreate a new filter whenever the error appears. This will ensure that you can continue tracking events in the blockchain without interruption.
