Chapter 9. Using service discovery
Here you see the instructions about how to create or discover new services, and to update or refresh existing ones.
Prerequisites
You have created <3scale-project>.
Discovering services
This section contains instructions to discover a new API service corresponding to an Open API Specification (OAS, also known as Swagger specification), if applicable; which is discovered from the cluster, for management with 3scale.
- Log in to 3scale Admin Portal.
- From the Admin Portal’s Dashboard, click New API.
- Choose Import from OpenShift.
- In the Namespace field, specify the OpenShift project.
- In the Name field, type the the name of an OpenShift service within that given namespace.
- Click Create Service.
-
Wait for the new API service to be asynchronously imported into 3scale. You will see a message in the upper right section of the Admin Portal:
The service will be imported shortly. You will receive a notification when it is done.
Updating the service
This section explains how to update (refresh) an existing API service in 3scale, which was previously imported/discovered from the cluster, with the current definitions for the service in the cluster.
- Log in to 3scale Administration Portal.
- Navigate to the Overview page of the API service.
- Click the Refresh link, next to Source: OpenSource.
- Wait for the new API service to be asynchronously imported into 3scale.
