Towards Real-time Monitoring of Blockchain Networks through a Low-code Tool (Summary)

Abstract

Blockchain is a secure and distributed technology that is gaining popularity due to its ability to trace, immutably, and transpar ently store data. However, monitoring blockchain networks necessitates the use of experts with extensive knowledge of the technology. To address this challenge, we present a low-code tool that enables inexperienced blockchain developers to define graphical flows that specify inputs, out puts, and the logic required to monitor blockchain network elements in real time. This tool has been successfully applied in a vaccine delivery scenario, allowing for the monitoring of a smart contract that stores temperature measurements of a specific vaccine. As a result, when a new transaction is mined in the blockchain network, it will be quickly noti fied and sent to the several data sinks specified in the flow modeled by a non-expert in blockchain.
