For administrators

Installation

Configuration

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

New Backend Procedure

• 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 }
  

  NOTE 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.

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

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