Abstract

A blockchain consortium network can be implemented in which nodes of one or more blockchains generate data for pipeline-based processing by a consortium pipeline system. The generated data can include private blockchain data, public blockchain data, and machine data, such as logs or operational metrics from the nodes. The data is collected from different network levels and can be transformed via pipeline processes of the consortium pipeline system to securely share data in the blockchain consortium network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, blockchain data generated by a plurality of nodes, a portion of the blockchain data comprising transaction data for a blockchain transaction between a first node and a second node of the plurality of nodes;
splitting the blockchain data into a first stream and a second stream based on a preconfigured splitting parameter, the first stream comprising the portion of the blockchain data that includes the transaction data;
routing the first stream to the first node and the second node, based on the first node and the second node being in the preconfigured splitting parameter; and
routing the second stream to a data intake and query system.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing, on a display device of the data intake and query system, presentation of a user interface comprising visualizations indicating a status for each the plurality of nodes, the visualizations generated based on the second stream of the blockchain data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the visualizations indicate a blockchain status and operational device status of each of the plurality of nodes.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preconfigured splitting parameter specifies routing the first stream of the blockchain data to the first node and the second node based on the first node and the second node adding the transaction data to the blockchain data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain data comprises block data from a blockchain and operational data from the plurality of nodes.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first stream comprises the transaction data for transacting nodes including the first node and the second node, and the second stream comprises a masked version of the blockchain data that masks one or more portions of data from the plurality of nodes.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising generating error data indicating an error in one or more of the transacting nodes that include the first node and the second node, the error identified using a masked version of the blockchain data in the second stream.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the operational data comprises machine data from operation of devices that host the plurality of nodes.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the error data corresponds to a device-based error that indicates a device that hosts one of the transacting nodes is malfunctioning.

10. The method of claim 5 , wherein the operational data comprises one or more network addresses of one or more of the plurality of nodes.

11. The method of claim 5 , wherein the operational data comprises at least one of: processor, disk, or memory usage of one or more of the plurality of nodes.

12. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
masking a portion of the operational data that corresponds to one of the transacting nodes.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one of the transacting nodes receives error data from the data intake and query system and unmasks the portion of the operational data to identify a source of an error.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first node is hosted on a first virtual private cloud, and wherein the second node is hosted on a second virtual private cloud that is different than the first virtual private cloud.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first node is hosted on one or more on-premise hardware devices and the second node is hosted on a virtual private cloud.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first node and the second node are hosted in different subnets of a virtual private cloud.

17. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a storage device storing instructions that configure the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving blockchain data generated by a plurality of nodes, a portion of the blockchain data comprising transaction data for a blockchain transaction between a first node and a second node of the plurality of nodes;
splitting the blockchain data into a first stream and a second stream based on a preconfigured splitting parameter, the first stream comprising the portion of the blockchain data that includes the transaction data;
routing the first stream to the first node and the second node, based on the first node and the second node being in the preconfigured splitting parameter; and
routing the second stream to a data intake and query system.

18. The system of claim 17 , the operations further comprising:
causing, on a display device of the data intake and query system, presentation of a user interface comprising visualizations indicating a status for each the plurality of nodes, the visualizations generated based on the second stream of the blockchain data.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the visualizations indicate a blockchain status and operational device status of each of the plurality of nodes.

20. A non-transitory machine-storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
receiving blockchain data generated by a plurality of nodes, a portion of the blockchain data comprising transaction data for a blockchain transaction between a first node and a second node of the plurality of nodes;
splitting the blockchain data into a first stream and a second stream based on a preconfigured splitting parameter, the first stream comprising the portion of the blockchain data that includes the transaction data;
routing the first stream to the first node and the second node, based on the first node and the second node being in the preconfigured splitting parameter; and
routing the second stream to a data intake and query system.
