API Gateway 10.3 | Configuring API Gateway | API Gateway Configuration | Connecting to an External Kibana

To connect to an external kibana you have to merge, replace or add the file kibana.yml from the installed location to C:\API Gateway instance\profiles\IS_default\apigateway\dashboard\config

Specify the kibana URL in the property dashboardInstance located in C:\API Gateway instance\IntegrationServer\instances\default\packages\WmAPIGateway\config\resources\beans\gateway-core.xml
