Analytics

ChainLaunch provides built-in analytics for your Fabric networks through Prometheus metrics collection and Grafana dashboards.

Prerequisites

• A running Fabric network with at least one peer or orderer
• Monitoring configured (Prometheus + Grafana)

Enable Metrics on Nodes

Fabric peers and orderers expose Prometheus metrics when configured. ChainLaunch enables this automatically when you set up monitoring.

To verify metrics are enabled on a node, use the CLI:

chainlaunch metrics enable --version="v3.4.0" --port=9091

Or check via the API:

curl -s http://localhost:8100/api/v1/nodes | jq '.[].metrics'

Access the Analytics Dashboard

1. Open ChainLaunch at http://localhost:8100
2. Navigate to Analytics in the left sidebar
3. You'll see dashboards for your active networks

The analytics page shows:

• Transaction throughput — transactions per second across channels
• Block generation rate — how fast new blocks are committed
• Peer health — endorsement success/failure rates per peer
• Orderer performance — block cut time, consensus latency
• Resource usage — CPU, memory, and disk per node container

Key Metrics

Metric	Description	What to watch
endorser_successful_proposals	Successful endorsements	Should increase with transaction load
broadcast_processed_count	Transactions submitted to orderer	Matches client submission rate
blockcutter_block_fill_duration	Time to fill a block	High values = low throughput
ledger_block_processing_time	Block commit latency	Spikes indicate bottlenecks
gossip_membership_total_peers_known	Peers visible via gossip	Should match expected peer count

Set Up Alerts

You can configure alerts in Grafana for critical conditions:

• Peer down — no metrics received for 2+ minutes
• High endorsement failure rate — endorser_failed_proposals exceeds threshold
• Block processing slow — ledger_block_processing_time > 5 seconds
• Disk usage high — container disk > 80%

See Configure Monitoring for full Grafana alert setup.
