On Tuesday, February 17, 2015, we released a new cloud version of Apigee Edge.
New features and enhancements
Following are the new features and enhancements in this release.
Analytics enhancements
This release includes many enhancements in usability and performance of Edge analytics dashboards and reports.
- Performance charts for APIs, Developers, Products, and Developer apps have moved. They used to be shown at the bottom of the main pages for these entities. Now, you access the charts by selecting the Analytics tab at the top of each page.
- This release includes major work on these existing or new dashboards:
-
Apigee Dashboard (Revised): Includes three metric charts: Proxy Traffic, Developer Engagement, and Developer Apps. Each chart provides a "more details" view that lets you drill into each metric. See Apigee dashboard.
-
Proxy Performance (New): Shows API proxy traffic patterns and processing times. Replaces the API Proxy Performance dashboard. See API Proxy Performance.
-
Traffic Composition (Revised): Completely revised dashboard look and feel and contents. Measures the relative contribution of your top APIs, apps, developers, and products to your overall API program. See Traffic composition.
-
Error Analysis (Revised): Completely revised look and feel and contents. Shows error rates for API proxies and targets. See Error Code Analysis Dashboard.
-
-
These existing dashboards have been renamed:
-
Endpoint Performance was renamed to Target Performance: Shows traffic patterns and performance metrics for API proxy backend targets. See Target performance.
-
Partner Engagement was renamed to Developer Engagement: Shows you which of your registered app developers are generating the most API traffic. For each of your developers, you can find out who is generating the most API traffic and the most errors. See Developer engagement.
-
Filtering options in management UI
On the API Proxies, Products, Developers, and Apps pages in the management UI, new filtering options are available for search.
Offline Trace tool
The Offline Trace tool lets you view and analyze trace sessions that were previously saved. A saved trace session is essentially a "recording" of a trace session, and can be useful for cases where troubleshooting and further analysis is required. The UI for the Offline Trace tool is similar to the "live" Trace tool.
For more information, see Using the Offline Trace tool.
User roles displayed in User Settings
On the User Settings page of the management UI (username > User Settings), the user's roles are now displayed.
Edge management UI enhancements
This release includes a number of small usability and consistency improvements in the Edge management UI.
Bugs fixed
The following bugs are fixed in this release.
| Issue ID | Description |
|---|---|
| APIRT-272 | io.timeout.millis setting is not being honored The io.timeout.millis setting on an API proxy's HTTP Target Connection is now honored for dynamic target endpoints. |
| APIRT-441 | OAuth error messages returned back to the client has changed In an OAuthV2 policy, when continueOnError is set to true, Edge now populates the following new flow variables to provide more information about errors: oauthV2.policy-name.fault.name and oauthV2.policy-name.fault.cause |
| APIRT-641 | Location of up-to-date XSDs Schemas for the Edge policies have been updated in the Apigee samples GitHub repository. See: https://github.com/apigee/api-platform-samples/tree/master/schemas/policy. |
| APIRT-848 | High RES memory usage of message processors |
| APIRT-970 | High heap usage in message processors |
| APIRT-998 | AccessControl Policy with more than one X-Forwarded-For IP not blocking
traffic In the Access Control policy, only the first X-Forwarded-For header was being used. Now the policy uses all X-Forwarded-For headers if more than one is present. |
| APIRT-1078 | Message processors and routers sometimes enter a stale state during deployment |
| APIRT-1098 | MP logs showing java.util.ConcurrentModificationException while executing
Javascript Service not available errors were being thrown in some JavaScript policies during debug/trace. This issue has been fixed. |
| APIRT-1099 | Issue with GetOAuthV2Info - AuthorizationCode. Throwing NPE. The GetOAuthV2Info policy was throwing null pointer exceptions while trying to fetch "AuthorizationCode". This issue has been fixed. The policy now supports the retrieval of AuthorizationCode information. |
| AXAPP-572 | Dropdown on Dashboard page does not change state after selection |
| AXAPP-1295 | Custom reports resulting in internal server error The management UI now ensures that special characters (%, ") are encoded properly for analytics calls from custom reports. |
| AXAPP-1320 | Drilldown to empty custom dimension causes error with accuracy level "Accurate" |
| AXAPP-1390 | "Server Error" warning while trying to load top performance view on "Dashboard" page |
| AXAPP-1427 | Responsiveness issue on dashboard when viewing "by minute" |
| CORERT-280 | TCPMonitor should schedule tasks at fixed delay and not fixed interval to avoid
consuming all threads TCPMonitor code has been optimized to handle system resources more efficiently. |
| CORERT-297 | java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory observed on Netty router during load test |
| CORERT-331 | URL with '|' is causing malformed request Pipe characters in URLs ("|") were causing bad request errors. This issue has been fixed. |
| CORERT-338 | Find best base path match when there are conflicting entries with proxyBasePath, env, vhost alias, and vhost port |
| CORERT-348 | Backend's 200 is changed to 503 due to the "Connection: close" response header |
| DEVRT-1039 | Transaction Rate Plan is not mandatory The Transaction Recording Policy requirement was not being enforced. Monetization now continues to require that a Transaction Recording Policy exist for a product before a rate plan can be defined for a package that contains the product. |
| DEVRT-1210 | Terms and Conditions date field does not use org timezone for
validation The Terms and Conditions Effective Date was being calculated incorrectly. The date is now validated against the organization’s time zone. |
| MGMT-927 | Develop UI not parsing XML in policies correctly, can cause issues when saving
new revisions The management UI wasn't parsing the API proxies and policies when the XML definitions wrapped into multiple lines. This issue has been fixed. |
| MGMT-1294 | New trace UI does not show incoming request if the target back-end takes a while to respond |
| MGMT-1302 | Redirect loop on login to management UI In certain cases, logging into the management UI on Firefox would not work. This has been fixed. |
| MGMT-1309 | Trace UI filter explicitly urlencodes special characters |
| MGMT-1323 | API model can be retrieved without credentials The API model resources now require authentication on all requests except the proxyUrl discovery endpoint. This means that viewing SmartDocs HTML directly off the backend now requires credentials. |
| MGMT-1386 | AJAX error on APIProxy overview page Data integrity errors were occurring when multiple organizations were active in different browser tabs. The Edge management UI now helps ensure data integrity in multi-browser-tab situations. After you work with one organization on a browser tab, the management forces you to switch to that organization in all other management UI tabs. |
| MGMT-1410 | Target Server not verified when used in Service Callout In a Service Callout policy, a missing target endpoint was being allowed during API proxy bundle deployment. The policy's target endpoint is now being validated, and a missing target endpoint in a Service Callout throws an error on deployment. |
| MGMT-1411 | No <Path> variable in TargetEndPoint's LoadBalancer throws NPE during
deployment In an HTTPTargetConnection, when a LoadBalancer was used and a Path wasn't specified, a 500 error was thrown. This issue has been fixed. If a LoadBalancer is missing the Path element, the default "/" is used. |
| MGMT-1416 | Message improvements when deploying a proxy bundle with an incorrect
Condition Error messages while developing API proxies have been improved to include more information about the location of and reasons for the errors. |
| MGMT-1496 | Incorrect UI error message while adding user When trying to re-add an existing user to an organization, the message "User undefined already exists in the organization" appeared. The word 'undefined' is now replaced with the username. |
| MGMT-1532 | Custom role without EDIT permission does not allow creation of an API proxy |
| MGMT-1538 | Developers with $ in local-part of email cannot be retrieved |
| MGMT-1543 | Cannot deploy in 'User' role via the management UI |
