API Analytics
You can view API analytics using one of the following dashboards:
API Gateway Dashboard.
Custom Dashboard. You can implement this outside the
IBM stack. (For example, using your own external Elasticsearch and external Kibana setup).
The data storage location determines the dashboard . If you store analytics data in external Elasticsearch, you can view the analytics using the default embedded dashboards. By default, API Gateway is shipped with a rich set of purpose-built dashboards. In addition, API Gateway provides custom dashboard capabilities. Further requirements can be addressed using the custom dashboard capability.
Alternatively, if you prefer to have full control of where the data is stored and how to view dashboard, it is recommended to configure an external Elasticsearch destination and build your own custom dashboards. In such cases, you cannot view the API analytics from the
API Gateway UI and it is very important to set up the data housekeeping procedure. For details, see
Data Housekeeping.
