Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for providing extensibility of one or more APIs of a computing system management interface to allow a user of the management interface to dynamically generate new interfaces for data attributes from one or more underlying hardware components of the computing system. In one particular embodiment, a management interface is configured to receive a configuration file from a user of the system through a user interface. The configuration file may define or otherwise indicate a type of API utilized by the management interface to communicate with components of the computing system and receive information concerning those components. The configuration file may also cause the management interface to update the identified API according to the update. By dynamically updating the number and type of APIs utilized by the management interface, the user may obtain information concerning the components of the computing system otherwise not previously available.
