The following major steps describe a general flow to retrieve the data from a third-party system and display it in NetBrain system as a single pane of glass.

1.Define a System-level API Plugin. The API Plugin defines a function template for the API Parser and API Server to work with a third-party system.

2.Add a Domain-level API Plugin Instance (API Server). The API Server defines the endpoints and user credentials to access the third-party system.

3.Create an API Parser. The API Parser defines how to retrieve and parses data from the third-party system.

4.Create a Qapp. The Qapp references the API Parser and defines outputs to analyze the data from the third-party system.

5.Retrieve and Visualize Data on a Map by Running the Qapp. Run the Qapp to get data from the third-party system and display the data on a map.
