Get visibility and deep analysis into every component of your blockchain stack. Blockchain at Splunk accelerates the adoption of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) by supporting organizations to secure their infrastructure, detect errors quickly, and make blockchain data accessible to anyone. 

Splunk Blockchain products offer connectors that ingest data directly from the blockchain, and applications that visualize and analyze data through dashboards to give coherent observability across IT monitoring, infrastructure security, and ledger analytics.

Before looking at documentation for specific data sources, review the Splunk Docs information on general data ingestion: 

Common data sources

These Splunk add-ons and apps are helpful for working with blockchain data.

Splunk App for Consensys Quorum

The OSS Quorum App for Splunk is an open source project. It contains a set of dashboards and analytics to give you full visibility into the system metrics, application data and ledger so that you can maintain security, stability and performance for your ConsenSys Quorum deployment.

Splunk Connect for Ethereum (EthLogger)

Splunk Connect for Ethereum makes it easy to ingest data about Ethereum ledgers, node information, and node metrics. 

Splunk App for Ethereum

The Splunk App for Ethereum provides a set of dashboards, macros and searches for Ethereum and Ethereum-based blockchain networks.

Splunk Connect for Hyperledger Fabric (Fabric Logger)

Splunk Connect for Hyperledger Fabric sends blocks and transactions from a Hyperledger Fabric distributed ledger to Splunk for analytics. Each fabric-logger instance can monitor multiple channels for the peer it is connected to. 

Splunk App for Hyperledger Fabric

Splunk App for Hyperledger Fabric contains a set of dashboards and analytics to give you full visibility into the system metrics, application data, and ledger so that you can maintain security, stability, and performance for your Hyperledger Fabric deployment.

Use cases

When your Splunk deployment is ingesting blockchain data, you can use the data to achieve the following:

In addition, when your Splunk deployment is ingesting blockchain data, you can use it to accomplish:

IT monitoring and observability 

  • Search, visualize, act on logs, metrics, and traces generated from any environment
  • Combines operational data from multi-party systems
  • Overlay logs onto metrics, drill down to traces 
  • Simplify outlier and anomaly detection

Infrastructure security 

  • Secure and protect infrastructure and applications supporting your blockchain
  • Detect and protect against vulnerabilities
  • Monitor system, network, and application activity 
  • Alert on suspicious behavior 
  • Detect fraud on ledger and automate incident response 

Ledger analytics 

  • Extract, enrich, and analyze data residing on any ledger
  • Combine IT and Security data with real-time ledger data 
  • Automatic and custom ABI decoding for Ethereum supported blockchains
