Project Plan

Overall goals of the project:

write an Elastic beats module (in Go), that will ship ledger data to Elasticsearch instance
create generic Kibana dashboards that will show both the operational and data aspects of ledger data. Basically, allow selection of a particular key or a channel configuration, and visualize updates to it (channel, id, timestamp etc)

Week 1	Exploration. Setup Hyperledger Fabric network, connect Hyperledger Explorer to Fabric. Use Filebeat to send data to Kibana.
Week 2	Exploration. Extend Fabric network (Fabric-ca, binary data and json chaincode). Dump ledger data from HL Explorer and visualize it in Kibana.
Week 3	Write Beats agent with configuration that sends data to Elasticsearch.
Week 4	Create operational dashboards similar to HL Explorer. Create data query dashboards.
Week 5	Create example HL Fabric network setups for different topics and use-cases (supply chain, medicine provenance, etc.) Write a simulator that generates transactions for these network types.
Week 6	Add data dashboards for different examples.
Week 7	Test Fabric Token and add dashboard for Fabric token.
Week 8	Refine the examples and prepare for submission as Hyperledger Lab. Evaluate how to read data directly from ledger file instead of using peer APIs.
Week 9	Investigate replacing ledger file with Elasticsearch in the backend.
Week 10	Submit the project as Hyperledger Lab. Store and analyze peer / CA logs within Elastic stack.
Week 11	Create Fabric network that uses private data.
Week 12	Create dashboards for private data.
