What's the best way to monitor dashboards automatically?
I have a bunch of dashboards with widgets and filters, and need to compare the values on the dashboards (after applying the filters, etc) with the results of hive queries run against the data warehouse. Currently it's done manually and human labor intensive, so needs to be automated.
There was a proposal to scrape the dashboards using Beautiful Soup (or similar tools) + Selenium. But I'm wondering whether it can be done through API, which will be more reliable and with lower maintenance. Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion.
