Abstract
A communication network service record tracker. The service record tracker comprises a processor, a data store comprising a plurality of service record blockchains, a non-transitory memory, and a service record tracker application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the at least one processor, the application provides a service record tracker network function that receives notices of network events from other network function instances, in response to receiving a notice of a network event from a network function, invokes an API of the network function to request information about the network event, receives information about the network event, builds a block comprising the information about the network event, and adds the block to one of the plurality of service record blockchains in the data store, whereby the service record tracker application establishes and maintains an immutable service record of network communication events accessible by authorized communication network applications.
