FAQ - Custom Reports

Custom Reports only supports REST API sources. However, you can think of alternatives solutions. For example, to extract data from AWS CodePipeline you could

1. Custom REST Endpoint:
   Writing your own REST backend is currently the most flexible way to connect CDK commands with Dashboard Hub. By exposing the required pipeline data via a REST API, you can use our Custom Report gadgets to visualize it seamlessly.

2. Using AWS Lambda & API Gateway:

• You could deploy a simple AWS Lambda function that executes the required CDK commands and processes the pipeline summary.

• Use API Gateway to expose this Lambda function as a REST endpoint, which can then be consumed by Dashboard Hub’s Custom Report gadget.

• This approach avoids setting up a full REST backend and leverages AWS-native services.
