Hi,

I would like to create dashboard in Kibana that will display status of our API tests in Runscope.  
Runscope has some REST API that could return test metrics in json format.  
Is this somehow possible to configure Kibana to use this external REST data source and create dashboard out of it?

Thanks

Welcome Jaroslaw,

you have to ingest the Outputs of the API into Elasticsearch first. This can be done with Logstash easily.  
When the data is in Elasticsearch you can use any feature in Kibana to visualize and analyze the data.

Thank you. Will try that.

I will also plan to check Vega-Lite, because it has some abilities to call external URL and create graphs. Maybe this will work too.
