After seeing Caito Scherr's amazing talk, I want to build up some useful dashboards.   My first step is exploring all the available APIs in my CSA/Flink environment.   The easiest way to discover them was I turned on Developer Console in Chrome while using the Flink Dashboard which is a great dashboard in it's own right.   But it is not focused on some key metrics that some customers are asking about in a very easy to read format for end-users.

Some URLs I have been using:

**Overview of Flink Cluster**
