Chapter 6. Configuring and managing a Service Registry deployment
This chapter explains how to configure and manage optional settings for your Service Registry deployment on OpenShift:
- Section 6.1, “Configuring Service Registry health checks on OpenShift”
- Section 6.2, “Environment variables for Service Registry health checks”
- Section 6.3, “Managing Service Registry environment variables”
- Section 6.4, “Configuring the Service Registry web console”
- Section 6.5, “Configuring Service Registry logging”
- Section 6.6, “Configuring Service Registry event sourcing”
6.1. Configuring Service Registry health checks on OpenShift
You can configure optional environment variables for liveness and readiness probes to monitor the health of the Service Registry server on OpenShift:
- Liveness probes test if the application can make progress. If the application cannot make progress, OpenShift automatically restarts the failing Pod.
- Readiness probes test if the application is ready to process requests. If the application is not ready, it can become overwhelmed by requests, and OpenShift stops sending requests for the time that the probe fails. If other Pods are OK, they continue to receive requests.
The default values of the liveness and readiness environment variables are designed for most cases and should only be changed if required by your environment. Any changes to the defaults depend on your hardware, network, and amount of data stored. These values should be kept as low as possible to avoid unnecessary overhead.
Prerequisites
- You must have an OpenShift cluster with cluster administrator access.
- You must have already installed Service Registry on OpenShift.
- You must have already installed and configured your chosen Service Registry storage in AMQ Streams or PostgreSQL.
Procedure
- In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, log in using an account with cluster administrator privileges.
- Click Installed Operators > Red Hat Integration - Service Registry.
- On the ApicurioRegistry tab, click the Operator custom resource for your deployment, for example, example-apicurioregistry.
-
In the main overview page, find the Deployment Name section and the corresponding
DeploymentConfig
name for your Service Registry deployment, for example, example-apicurioregistry. -
In the left navigation menu, click Workloads > Deployment Configs, and select your
DeploymentConfig
name. Click the Environment tab, and enter your environment variables in the Single values env section, for example:
-
NAME:
LIVENESS_STATUS_RESET
-
VALUE:
350
-
NAME:
Click Save at the bottom.
Alternatively, you can perform these steps using the OpenShift
oc
command. For more details, see the OpenShift CLI documentation.
6.2. Environment variables for Service Registry health checks
This section describes the available environment variables for Service Registry health checks on OpenShift. These include liveness and readiness probes to monitor the health of the Service Registry server on OpenShift. For an example procedure, see Section 6.1, “Configuring Service Registry health checks on OpenShift”.
The following environment variables are provided for reference only. The default values are designed for most cases and should only be changed if required by your environment. Any changes to the defaults depend on your hardware, network, and amount of data stored. These values should be kept as low as possible to avoid unnecessary overhead.
Liveness environment variables
Name | Description | Type | Default |
---|---|---|---|
| Number of liveness issues or errors that can occur before the liveness probe fails. | Integer |
|
| Period in which the threshold number of errors must occur. For example, if this value is 60 and the threshold is 1, the check fails after two errors occur in 1 minute | Seconds |
|
| Number of seconds that must elapse without any more errors for the liveness probe to reset to OK status. | Seconds |
|
| Comma-separated list of ignored liveness exceptions. | String |
|
Because OpenShift automatically restarts a Pod that fails a liveness check, the liveness settings, unlike readiness settings, do not directly affect behavior of Service Registry on OpenShift.
Readiness environment variables
Name | Description | Type | Default |
---|---|---|---|
| Number of readiness issues or errors that can occur before the readiness probe fails. | Integer |
|
| Period in which the threshold number of errors must occur. For example, if this value is 60 and the threshold is 1, the check fails after two errors occur in 1 minute. | Seconds |
|
| Number of seconds that must elapse without any more errors for the liveness probe to reset to OK status. In this case, this means how long the Pod stays not ready, until it returns to normal operation. | Seconds |
|
| Readiness tracks the timeout of two operations:
If these operations take more time than the configured timeout, this is counted as a readiness issue or error. This value controls the timeouts for both operations. | Seconds |

6.3. Managing Service Registry environment variables
Service Registry Operator manages most common Service Registry configuration, but there are some options that you can adjust manually. You can update these by setting an environment variable on the Service Registry Deployment
resource. If the specific configuration option is not available in the ApicurioRegistry
CR, you can use an environment variable to adjust it.
Procedure
- OpenShift web console
- Select the Installed Operators tab, and then the Red Hat Integration - Service Registry Operator.
-
On the Apicurio Registry tab, click the
ApicurioRegistry
CR for your Service Registry deployment. -
On the main overview page, view the
managedResources
section, which contains the name of theDeployment
managed by the Operator to deploy your Service Registry instance. -
Find that
Deployment
in the Workloads > Deployments in the left menu. -
Select the
Deployment
with the correct name, and select the Environment tab. - You can add or modify your environment variable to the Single values (env) section.
- Click Save at the bottom.
- OpenShift CLI
- Select the project where Service Registry is installed.
-
Run
oc get apicurioregistry
to get the list ofApicurioRegistry
CRs -
Run
oc describe
on the CR representing the Service Registry instance that you want to configure. -
View the
managedResource
in thestatus
section. -
Find that
Deployment
and enteroc edit
. -
Add or modify the environment variable in the
spec.template.spec.containers[0].env
section.
6.4. Configuring the Service Registry web console
You can configure the Service Registry web console specifically for your deployment environment or to customize its behavior. This section provides details on how to configure optional environment variables for the Service Registry web console.
Prerequisites
- You must have already installed Service Registry.
Configuring the web console deployment environment
When a user navigates their browser to the Service Registry web console, some initial configuration settings are loaded. Two important configuration properties are:
- URL for backend Service Registry REST API
- URL for frontend Service Registry web console
Typically, Service Registry automatically detects and generates these settings, but there are some deployment environments where this automatic detection can fail. If this happens, you can configure environment variables to explicitly set these URLs for your environment.
Procedure
Configure the following environment variables to override the default URLs:
-
REGISTRY_UI_CONFIG_APIURL
: Set the URL for the backend Service Registry REST API. For example,https://registry.my-domain.com/apis/registry
-
REGISTRY_UI_CONFIG_UIURL
: Set the URL for the frontend Service Registry web console. For example,https://registry.my-domain.com/ui
Configuring the console in read-only mode
You can configure the Service Registry web console in read-only mode as an optional feature. This mode disables all features in the Service Registry web console that allow users to make changes to registered artifacts. For example, this includes the following:
- Creating an artifact
- Uploading a new version of an artifact
- Updating an artifact’s metadata
- Deleting an artifact
Procedure
Configure the following environment variable to set the Service Registry web console in read-only mode:
-
REGISTRY_UI_FEATURES_READONLY
: Set totrue
to enable read-only mode. Defaults tofalse
.
6.5. Configuring Service Registry logging
You can set Service Registry logging configuration at runtime. Service Registry provides a REST endpoint to set the log level for specific loggers for finer grained logging. This section explains how to view and set Service Registry log levels at runtime using the Service Registry /admin
REST API.
Prerequisites
-
Get the URL to access your Service Registry instance, or get your Service Registry route if you have Service Registry deployed on OpenShift. This simple example uses a URL of
localhost:8080
.
Procedure
Use this
curl
command to obtain the current log level for the loggerio.apicurio.registry.storage
:$ curl -i localhost:8080/apis/registry/v2/admin/loggers/io.apicurio.registry.storage HTTP/1.1 200 OK [...] Content-Type: application/json {"name":"io.apicurio.registry.storage","level":"INFO"}
Use this
curl
command to change the log level for the loggerio.apicurio.registry.storage
toDEBUG
:$ curl -X PUT -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"level":"DEBUG"}' localhost:8080/apis/registry/v2/admin/loggers/io.apicurio.registry.storage HTTP/1.1 200 OK [...] Content-Type: application/json {"name":"io.apicurio.registry.storage","level":"DEBUG"}
Use this
curl
command to revert the log level for the loggerio.apicurio.registry.storage
to its default value:$ curl -X DELETE -i localhost:8080/apis/registry/v2/admin/loggers/io.apicurio.registry.storage HTTP/1.1 200 OK [...] Content-Type: application/json {"name":"io.apicurio.registry.storage","level":"INFO"}
6.6. Configuring Service Registry event sourcing
You can configure Service Registry to send events when changes are made to the registry. For example, Service Registry can trigger events when schema and API artifacts are created, updated, deleted, and so on. You can configure Service Registry to send events to your applications and to third-party integrations in this way.
There are different protocols available for transporting the events. The currently implemented protocols are HTTP and Apache Kafka. However, regardless of the protocol, the events are sent using the CNCF CloudEvents specification.
All of the event types are defined in io.apicurio.registry.events.dto.RegistryEventType
. For example, the event types include:
-
io.apicurio.registry.artifact-created
-
io.apicurio.registry.artifact-updated
-
io.apicurio.registry.artifact-rule-created
-
io.apicurio.registry.global-rule-created
You can configure cloud events in Service Registry using Java system properties or equivalent environment variables.
Prerequisites
- You must have an application that you want to send Service Registry cloud events to. For example, this can be a custom application or a third-party application.
Configuring Service Registry event sourcing using HTTP
The example in this section shows a custom application running at http://my-app-host:8888/events
.
Procedure
When using the HTTP protocol, set your Service Registry configuration to send events to a your application as follows:
-
registry.events.sink.my-custom-consumer=http://my-app-host:8888/events
-
If required, you can configure multiple event consumers as follows:
-
registry.events.sink.my-custom-consumer=http://my-app-host:8888/events
-
registry.events.sink.other-consumer=http://my-consumer.com/events
-
Configuring Service Registry event sourcing using Apache Kafka
The example in this section shows a Kafka topic named my-registry-events
running on my-kafka-host:9092
.
Procedure
When using the Kafka protocol, set your Kafka topic as follows:
-
registry.events.kafka.topic=my-registry-events
-
You can set the configuration for the Kafka producer using the
KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS
environment variable:KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS=my-kafka-host:9092
Alternatively, you can set the properties for the kafka producer using the
registry.events.kafka.config
prefix, for example:registry.events.kafka.config.bootstrap.servers=my-kafka-host:9092
If required, you can also set the Kafka topic partition to use to produce events:
-
registry.events.kafka.topic-partition=1
-
