Grafana plugin for visualising vote based consensus mechanisms, and network P2P overlay networks
This provides a debugging tool for engineers working on blockchain and distributed ledger protocols, but it is incremental as it adapts existing visualization methods to a specific domain.
The authors developed Grafana plugins for visualizing vote-based consensus mechanisms and P2P overlay networks to help engineers debug blockchain protocols, with no assumptions on data storage and configurable via Grafana's interface.
In this paper, we present a plugin for visualising vote based consensus mechanisms primarily aimed to help engineers understand and debug blockchain and distributed ledger protocols. Both tools are built as Grafana plugins and make no assumptions on the data storage implementation. The plugins can be configured via Grafana plugin configuration interface to fit the specifics of the protocol implementation.
