Accessing analytics

You can view predefined or customized analytics information for your IBM® API Connect Catalogs within dashboards. If Spaces are enabled in your Catalogs, you can also view predefined or customized analytics information for your API Connect Spaces within dashboards.

About this task

The analytics capabilities and functions are identical across Catalogs and Spaces. However, the analytics data is scoped to a Catalog when dashboards are accessed at the Catalog level, and the data is scoped to a Space when dashboards are accessed at the Space level. The ability to access analytics data at a Catalog or Space level depends on your assigned roles and permissions. For more information about Catalogs and Spaces, see Working with Catalogs and Using syndication in API Connect.

Restriction: If the visualizations in your dashboards display no data or show data only for a time period in the past, a possible reason might be that access to analytics data within API Connect is switched off. Contact your cloud administrator for confirmation. (For more information, see Configuring analytics offload for API Connect.)
