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
