When will Splunk support blockchains?
In a way that Splunk can store and lookup (encrypted) hashes of data in a first generation blockchain like Bitcoin and a third generation blockchain like Cardano.
Sometimes we want to prove that a logfile or Splunk entry was irrefutable not modified. Like in a Court of Justice.
We can be more certain by taking more security measures. But in some cases an employee like an administrator or hacker would theoretically be able to modify entries.
By writing hashes in a blockchain we can irrefutably prove that the data in a Splunk installation has not been modified.
You could even make subscriptions for different frequencies of writing hashes in the blockchain like daily, hourly, per file, etc.
