Visualizations

Visualizations provide a way for you to apply a series of search criteria to your indexed data, compute metrics, and then graphically present the results in a convenient format for analysis or review. IBM® API Connect analytics provides some preconfigured visualizations for you to use to view common analytics data on your dashboards. You can also create your own visualizations.

Default visualizations

A list of visualizations is displayed when you select Visualize in the application selector and open the visualization application page for the first time. These are preconfigured visualizations of some common ways to parse and view analytics data. You can use these visualizations as they are, or clone them to customize them to your needs. You cannot modify the existing visualizations. After you have cloned or created some of your own visualizations, your visualizations also appear in this list.
