We do have a guide on entry level backend use:

We have talked about getting a document together on the backend API for developers, but I believe it was left at that.

Hello,

Which is the best way to create a dashboard through xml or php?

[slansing]

Well of course we would recommend using straight php, as that is what just about everything else in XI is generated as, that will also assure others can use the dashboard if you upload it to the exchange.

Hello,

in a custom dashboard customer wants to have a option on dashboard in which he can access the top warning alerts from a hosgroup
same top critical alerts on the dashboard, but there is no way i can get the above details to display on the dashboard.


is there any possibility ?

Using existing dashlets you could use:

Home > Latest Alerts

Home > Hostgroup Grid
> Hostgroup Overview
> Hostgroup Summary

Etc.. many pages such as these already have dashlets which you can dashify to add to dashboards.
