Hi, I am developing a **custom external plugin** for Kibana. I want to have a **functionality similar to the service maps** in Observability \> APM \> Service Map in my plugin. Is there a way to import it from Kibana core and use the same? Thanks, Sheereen ---

Hi @Sheereen there's currently no way to import the component into an external plugin. The code for the graph visualization is based on cytoscape.js external library which you might use in your plugin as well. ---
