Analytics

Analytics

Analytics gives you three reports inside the dashboard: Portal Report, Advanced Report, and Usage Report. They are embedded AWS QuickSight dashboards, gated by the usage reporting entitlement.

Analytics gives you three reports inside the dashboard, each one an embedded analytics view of how your API program is doing. You open them from the Metrics group in the left navigation.

What reports does Apiable provide?

Three, all under the Metrics group: the Portal Report for portal-level activity, the Advanced Report for product-level insight, and the Usage Report for developer and API usage. Each one opens its own page in the dashboard.

ReportWhere it opensWhat it covers
Portal ReportMetrics, Portal Report (/portal-report)Activity across your API Portal.
Advanced ReportMetrics, Advanced Report (/product-report)Product-level insight across your API products and plans.
Usage ReportMetrics, Usage Report (/developer-report)Developer and API usage.

How are the reports built?

Each report is an embedded AWS QuickSight dashboard. The dashboard asks Apiable for a signed QuickSight embed URL, then renders that QuickSight dashboard inside the page. The charts and figures are defined in QuickSight, so the reports can change there without a dashboard release.

What do you need to see a report?

Two things together. Your plan needs the usage reporting entitlement, and usage reporting has to be enabled for your account. The dashboard checks both before it loads a report.

  1. Usage reporting on your plan. This is a plan entitlement. Without it the usage add-on stays locked.
  2. Usage reporting enabled. You turn on the usage add-on in Billing, then connect your API gateway logs so Apiable can collect usage.

When both are true, the report loads its live QuickSight dashboard. When either is missing, you see a placeholder instead.

Why do you see a placeholder instead of a report?

Because usage reporting is off. If your plan does not include it, or it is not enabled yet, the page shows an example report image and an upgrade prompt. The prompt reads that your plan does not support advanced reporting and offers a Go to Billing button.

To switch from the placeholder to live data, enable the usage add-on in Billing and connect your gateway logs. The reports draw on the same usage events that power metered billing.

Where do the specific charts come from?

From AWS QuickSight, not from the Apiable dashboard. Because each report is an embedded QuickSight dashboard, the exact charts, filters, and metrics are defined and maintained in QuickSight. This documentation describes the purpose of each report and how to open it, rather than a fixed chart list that could drift.
