Creating custom dashboards

Before you begin

Pre-requisites:

You must have the API Gateway's manage custom dashboards functional privilege assigned to manage the custom dashboards in Global analytics.

About this task

The Custom dashboards has two options:

  • View. To view custom dashboards. You can select the custom dashboard that you want to view from the drop-down list.
  • Build. To build custom dashboards. Here, you can create and add visualizations to build custom dashboards.
Note:
  • Software AG recommends that you do not modify any default visualizations. If you modify any default visualizations, an upgrade or restart of API Gateway server overwrites the modifications.
  • Improper visualizations or long running queries in the visualizations can impact the performance of the Elasticsearch.

You can create custom dashboards for both API Gateway-wide analytics and API-specific analytics from the > Analytics page. You can create the visualizations and dashboards in the Kibana interface, and the dashboards are rendered in API Gateway user interface.

To create custom dashboards

Procedure

  1. Click > Analytics.
  2. Click Custom dashboards > Build.
  3. Build custom dashboard. For instructions, see Kibana documentation.
