Hi,

i have a custom dashboard displaying a widget of the top20 API calls.

I’m using instana onprem (not saas)

I want to filter this widget to display only calls to API’s that are outside my organization (e.g. external calls to third party api’s that are not hosted onprem).

What is the best and sunplest solution to achieve this?

Hi Omar,

I maybe got a solution for this, I have a service that calls paypal:

 And in order to make it work, see whatever is communicating to the outside, I put the following on the Widget:

Save it and then I have this widget with things that are out of Instana (considered 3rd party):

Hope this helps.
