Creating custom dashboards
Pre-requisites:
You must have the API Gateway's manage custom dashboards functional privilege assigned to manage the custom dashboards in Global analytics.
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
1. Click > Analytics.
2. Click Custom dashboards > Build.
3. Build custom dashboard. For instructions, see Kibana documentation.
For API-specific custom dashboard, type apiId:"*" in the search box and then save the dashboard. This filter creates a custom dashboard specific to API-specific analytics.
To view the custom dashboard for API Gateway-wide analytics, click View and select the dashboard from the drop-down list.
To view the custom dashboard for API-specific analytics, click APIs > API name > Analytics. Select the custom dashboard from the drop-down list.
