View synchronized data

Proxies deployed to the hybrid management plane are downloaded to the runtime plane by a service called the Synchronizer (apigee-sync). After the proxies are downloaded, they are saved to pod storage where MPs retrieve and deploy them.

Of course, calling an API proxy is one way to verify that it is deployed. This sections describes other techniques you can use to verify that your proxies are synchronized and deployed.

List deployed proxies

Use the classification/tree API to list proxies deployed to the MP:

1. Get the names of the pods in your cluster:

   kubectl get pods -n namespace

2. Use port-forwarding to gain access the apigee-runtime pod. The syntax for port forwarding is as follows:

   kubectl port-forward -n namespace podname 8843:8843

   For example:

   kubectl port-forward -n apigee \
       apigee-runtime-my-organization-test-blue-57965b7789-6j4bp 8843:8843

3. Then, in another terminal window, use a utility such as curl to send a request to the classification/tree API, as the following example shows:

   curl -k https://0:8843/v1/classification/tree

   Here is an example response, which lists information about the deployed proxies in the "test" environment:

   [ {
     "condition" : "(always matches)",
     "virtualHost" : {
       "env" : "test",
       "name" : "default",
       "org" : "my-organization",
       "tree" : {
         "elements" : [ {
           "application" : "myproxy",
           "basePath" : "/myproxy",
           "name" : "default",
           "revision" : "1"
         } ],
         "name" : "IdentificationTree"
       }
     }
   } ]

View synchronized data directly

Data that is synchronized to the runtime plane is stored on mounted directories inside the apigee-sync and apigee-runtime pods. This section explains how to view synchronized data on these pod filesytems.

View synchronized data on the apigee-runtime pod

1. Get the names of the pods in your cluster:

   kubectl get pods -n namespace

2. Get a shell for an apigee-runtime pod:

   kubectl exec -it -n your_namespace runtime_pod_name \
       --container apigee-runtime -- /bin/bash

   For example:

   kubectl exec -it -n my-namespace \
     apigee-runtime-hybrid-docs-test-blue-6fb96f5b9-2k8hp \
     --container apigee-runtime -- /bin/bash

3. View the contents of the /opt/apigee/repomnt directory. If proxy data has been synchronized, you will see directory contents similar to the following:

   ls /opt/apigee/repomnt
   20190207.184443.394 owners versions.properties

4. cd into the latest timestamp-prefixed directory (20190207.184443.394 in this example).
5. In this directory, you'll find the file env.json. This file describes the API runtime environment that was downloaded from the management plane. It represents the "contract" of shared information that is required for the runtime to function, including proxies, environment information, keystores, and other entities.
6. If you drill into the deployments directory, you'll find proxy deployment information.
7. If you drill into the config directory, you'll find the actual proxy configurations (proxy bundles) and keystores for each environment.

View synchronized data on the apigee-sync pod

1. Get the names of the pods in your cluster:

   kubectl get pods -n namespace

2. Get a shell for an apigee-sync pod:

   kubectl exec -it -n your_namespace \
       sync_pod_name -- /bin/bash

   For example:

   kubectl exec -it -n my-namespace \
       apigee-sync-6wkvq -- /bin/bash

3. Once in the pod, go to the following directory, where you will find the synchronized data:

   /opt/apigee/repomnt/your_org/yourEnv

   For example:

   ls /opt/apigee/repomnt/hybrid/test
   20190207.184443.394 owners versions.properties

4. cd into the latest timestamp-prefixed directory (20190207.184443.394 in this example).
5. In this directory, you'll find the file env.json. This file describes the API runtime environment that was downloaded from the management plane. It represents the "contract" of shared information that is required for the runtime to function, including proxies, environment information, keystores, and other entities.
6. If you drill into the deployments directory, you'll find proxy deployment information.
7. If you drill into the config directory, you'll find the actual proxy configurations (proxy bundles) and keystores for each environment.
