Analyzing your APIs
To get a better understanding of the built in analytics including dashboards, filtering and search capabilities take a quick video tour.
Alongside the built in analytics there are options to offload data to an external service to perform a more holistic data search, view custom visualizations, and retain the analytics data for longer periods of time. Our documentation provides examples for doing this with Amazon S3 and Splunk.
