API developers often face challenges in both troubleshooting issues and showcasing platform performance, and dashboards serve as a crucial tool in addressing these needs. However, differing team priorities and federated team structures can make managing dashboards complex. Kong Konnect has introduced Custom Dashboards, now generally available, which simplifies this process by offering features such as best-practice templates, global filters, role-based access, and automation through APIs and Terraform. These enhancements allow for easy creation, automation, and secure sharing of dashboards tailored to various team needs, making it possible to convert API data into actionable insights efficiently. Custom Dashboards help streamline operations from rapid problem-solving to strategic reporting, reducing overhead and improving decision-making processes.
