The "Ingress Gateway L7" dashboard documentation should also be added to the Calico Cloud dashboards page at calico-cloud/observability/dashboards.mdx. Since Calico Ingress Gateway is available in Calico Cloud (as seen in the extensive documentation at calico-cloud/networking/ingress-gateway/), and the feature flow typically goes from Enterprise to Cloud, this dashboard should be documented for both products.
