Using Hyperledger composer with Hyperledger Blockchain explorer

I have created a Business network using Hyperledger composer and now I want to integrate it with Hyperledger explorer that is available here: https://github.com/hyperledger/blockchain-explorer/

But I am not understanding how to make the configurations. Please help.

I was facing the same issue and I found this solution for configuration: 

blockchain-explorer/app/platform/fabric/config.json

    {

"network-config": {

    "org1": {

        "name": "Org1",

        "mspid": "Org1MSP",

        "peer1": {

            "requests": "grpc://127.0.0.1:7051",

            "events": "grpc://127.0.0.1:7053",

            "server-hostname": "peer0.org1.example.com"

        },

        "admin": {

            "key": "/home/rob/fabric-dev-servers/fabric-scripts/hlfv11/composer/crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/users/Admin@org1.example.com/msp/keystore",

            "cert": "/home/rob/fabric-dev-servers/fabric-scripts/hlfv11/composer/crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/users/Admin@org1.example.com/msp/signcerts"

        }

    }

},

"channel": "composerchannel",

"orderers":[

            {

            "mspid": "OrdererMSP",

            "server-hostname":"orderer.example.com",

            "requests":"grpc://127.0.0.1:7050"

            }

            ],

"keyValueStore": "/tmp/fabric-client-kvs",

"configtxgenToolPath": "fabric-path/fabric-samples/bin",

"eventWaitTime": "30000",

"license": "Apache-2.0",

"version": "1.1"

}

The changes made in the original file are follows:

  1. name of the org ( "name": "Org1" ),
  2. I removed the TLS certificate references since the Dev fabric doesn't use TLS,
  3. I changed the urls to grpc instead of grpcs,
  4. I pointed the admin cert and key to my locations.
  5. Channel name.

Now to build the app, run these commands

cd blockchain-explorer/app/test

npm install

cd ../

npm install

cd test

npm run test

cd blockchain-explorer

npm install

cd client/

npm install

npm test -- -u --coverage

npm run build

It worked for me!

But how do we configure more than 1 channel in above config.json as Fabric supports multiple channels
Thank you very much for the wonderful solution. It worked for me with an older version of hyperledger explorer. version 0.3.5.1

First, clone blockchain explorer from git. Then in the blockchain-explorer/config.json include the channel/channel list that you want to use the explorer for. Then open a browser and type https://localhost:8080. You will be able to see details from explorer

Can I use the blockchain explorer from the official site? I have it already downloaded.
Yes, you can use it to do the same. I usually prefer getting applications from github. Used to it :P
Can't find blockchian explorer in github. Please provide link for the same.

Hey @Daya. Maybe you didn't look for it enough. Here's the link: https://github.com/hyperledger/blockchain-explorer
