System and Method for Displaying Data From A Storage

A computer-implemented method for displaying data from a data storage system, the method comprising:

• enabling generation of a data visualization interface for rendering a first custom report according to previously received user configuration, wherein the user configuration comprises a first type of data to be displayed at a first location on the first custom report and a second type of data to be displayed at a second location on the first custom report;
• wherein the first type of data and the second type of data are obtained from the data storage system;
• wherein the data visualization interface comprises instructions in a markup language for specifying the first type of data, the first location, the second type of data, and the second location, and instructions in a second programing language for obtaining the first type of data and the second type of data from the data storage system;
• receiving the instructions in the second programing language from the data visualization interface at an application programming interface (“API”);
• sending an API call to the data storage system to obtain the first type of data and the second type of data;
• receiving the first type of data and the second type of data at the data visualization interface;
• rendering the first custom report, wherein the first custom report is based on the first type of data, the first location, the second type of data and the second location;
• and
• displaying the first custom report, wherein the first custom report comprises a first area for receiving a first request to interact with the data storage system.
