  • 1.  Visualizing M360 API Data

    Posted Tue April 07, 2020 09:23 AM
    Greetings! 

    Has anyone pursued/completed a successful implementation of an External API Driven Visualization of IBM MaaS360 data?  

    We currently have a Grafana-driven Dashboard System (Outputting to about 20 RPi 4s) that visualizes some of our User information for Box.com and our other Mobile Interfacing Systems. 

    I would love to pull in some of the IBM M360 Data in to Visualize for my Mid-Tier Support Staff. Especially on a time-scale basis, as were in the middle on onboarding a large influx of devices. 

    Most of our Walk-around bosses are huge fans of strolling by and eyeballing numbers...so this is just an easy method to solve that in a visually appealing way.

    Also, I am happy to share what the outcome is, via Github, etc. 

    Thank you!

    Hi Bryan,

    There are some platforms which have implemented our APIs to pull in relevant data to the dashboard (Q Radar being a good example).  I'm not aware of anyone using the Grafana platform to do this, but there have been some clients who have gotten creative with the data APIs can retrieve.  If you require any info around our APIs or some of our popular metrics for monitoring, I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

    Awesome! I found an example of Python usage from Mr. Tone Johnson at IBM, however, its a little beyond my strength area as it uses Python and Custom Splunk items to do the work. 

    I had hoped someone would have a good starter example, so I can tackle my lack of understanding on the Auth side. We have other example of Telegraf and Grafana working with outside APIs (like Box.com)...and for my use-case it would be very helpful. In fact, in order to M360 in the Federal Government, we are required to do outside Auditing now. 

    I'd love to be the first to publish an example Grafana Dashboard: (https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards?direction=asc&orderBy=name) for MaaS360, but I need to figure out to repeatedly get API data into Grafana (probably via InfluxDB).
