3scale Backstage provider

The 3scale Backstage provider plugin synchronizes the 3scale content into the Backstage catalog.

For administrators

Installation

Run the following command to install the 3scale Backstage provider plugin:

yarn workspace backend add @janus-idp/backstage-plugin-3scale-backend

Configuration

3scale Backstage provider allows configuration of one or multiple providers using the app-config.yaml configuration file of Backstage.

Legacy Backend Procedure

  1. Use a threeScaleApiEntity marker to start configuring the app-config.yaml file of Backstage:

    catalog:
      providers:
        threeScaleApiEntity:
          dev:
            baseUrl: https://<TENANT>-admin.3scale.net
            accessToken: <ACCESS_TOKEN>
            schedule: # optional; same options as in TaskScheduleDefinition
              # supports cron, ISO duration, "human duration" as used in code
              frequency: { minutes: 30 }
              # supports ISO duration, "human duration" as used in code
              timeout: { minutes: 3 }
  2. If installing into the legacy backend, configure the scheduler for the entity provider using one of the following methods:

    • Method 1: If the scheduler is configured inside the app-config.yaml using the schedule config key mentioned previously, add the following code to packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts file:

      /* highlight-add-next-line */
      import { ThreeScaleApiEntityProvider } from '@janus-idp/backstage-plugin-3scale-backend';
      
      export default async function createPlugin(
        env: PluginEnvironment,
      ): Promise<Router> {
        const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
      
        /* ... other processors and/or providers ... */
        /* highlight-add-start */
        builder.addEntityProvider(
          ThreeScaleApiEntityProvider.fromConfig(env.config, {
            logger: env.logger,
            scheduler: env.scheduler,
          }),
        );
        /* highlight-add-end */
      
        const { processingEngine, router } = await builder.build();
        await processingEngine.start();
        return router;
      }

      NOTE

      If you have made any changes to the schedule in the app-config.yaml file, then restart to apply the changes.


    • Method 2: Add a schedule directly inside the packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts file as follows:

      /* highlight-add-next-line */
      import { ThreeScaleApiEntityProvider } from '@janus-idp/backstage-plugin-3scale-backend';
      
      export default async function createPlugin(
        env: PluginEnvironment,
      ): Promise<Router> {
        const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);
      
        /* ... other processors and/or providers ... */
        /* highlight-add-start */
        builder.addEntityProvider(
          ThreeScaleApiEntityProvider.fromConfig(env.config, {
            logger: env.logger,
            schedule: env.scheduler.createScheduledTaskRunner({
              frequency: { minutes: 30 },
              timeout: { minutes: 3 },
            }),
          }),
        );
        /* highlight-add-end */
      
        const { processingEngine, router } = await builder.build();
        await processingEngine.start();
        return router;
      }

    NOTE

    If both the schedule (hard-coded schedule) and scheduler (app-config.yaml schedule) option are provided in the packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts, the scheduler option takes precedence. However, if the schedule inside the app-config.yaml file is not configured, then the schedule option is used.


New Backend Procedure

  1. If installing into the new backend system, make the same configurations to the app=config.yaml as in the Legacy Backend Installation Procedure. Make sure to configure the schedule inside the app-config.yaml file. The default schedule is a frequency of 30 minutes and a timeout of 3 minutes.

  2. Add the following code to the packages/backend/src/index.ts file:

    const backend = createBackend();
    
    /* highlight-add-next-line */
    backend.add(import('@janus-idp/backstage-plugin-3scale-backend/alpha'));
    
    backend.start();

Troubleshooting

When you start your Backstage application, you can see some log lines as follows:
