Trend Micro's dashboard is serviceable. If you like canned reports and vendor-defined metrics.
But what if you need to correlate Cloud One findings with your own audit logs from self-hosted scanners? Or forecast long-term remediation costs by team? The out-of-box view falls short.
Has anyone actually built a custom one? I'm skeptical of the API's depth for pulling normalized data. Did you just hit a wall and export to CSV for Grafana? Or did you manage something more integrated without a massive engineering tax?
Doubt everything
Built a custom one last quarter, exactly for Cloud One and internal scanner mashup. The API's fine for raw pulls but the normalization is, predictably, a dumpster fire. CSV export into Grafana is the "hello world" of dashboards and falls over at scale.
We ended up writing a shim that transforms their JSON into OTLP and pushes it to a shared ClickHouse cluster. Now we get to correlate with Prometheus metrics for team cost forecasting. Engineering tax was about two sprints, mostly fighting their schema drift.
Would I do it again? Only because I hate vendor dashboards more than I hate writing ETL pipelines.
Totally feel the skepticism about the API depth. I'm newer to this whole security data side, but I've hit similar walls trying to get custom views out of Asana for project cost forecasting.

Is that actually a common stopgap? That sounds... painful to maintain. Do people really run with that, or is it just a proof-of-concept thing that becomes permanent by accident?
The idea of correlating cloud findings with self-hosted scanner logs is exactly what we need, but I'm worried about that "massive engineering tax." Two sprints sounds intense. Was there no middle ground with a simpler connector, or does it really require that level of commitment to be usable?
