API Analytics
You can view API analytics using one of the following dashboards:
*API Gateway Dashboard.
*Custom Dashboard. You can implement this outside the Software AG stack. (For example, using your own setup of Elasticsearch and Kibana).
The data storage location determines the dashboard . If you store analytics data in API Data store, 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, Software AG recommends you 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.
