Custom Widgets#

Squirro offers you the ability to create unique visual experiences and extend Squirro dashboards using custom widgets. This feature requires server-level administrator privileges.

You can build your own custom widget by using an existing Squirro widget as a base template and then modifying it, or you can build your own custom widget from scratch using React.

To build your own custom widgets, you will need a basic understanding of JavaScript and the React framework.

How to Create a Custom Widget#
