Apigee UI release notes

An informational message was added to the action creation flow for Apigee Security actions, informing users that actions can't be edited or deleted.

This release includes a new Overview page for Apigee API Management in the Google Cloud console.

From the Overview page, you can:

• Get started as a new Apigee user
• Test your Apigee runtime
• View key resource usage metrics
• Explore Apigee API management features

For more information, see UI overview.

GA release of the Apigee UI in Cloud console

This is the GA release of the Apigee UI in Cloud console, a new version of the Apigee UI that is integrated with the Google Cloud console. The new UI makes it easier to use Apigee, while also performing related tasks in the Cloud console.

This release includes improvements to the Create Environment experience in the Apigee UI in the Cloud console.

With this release, users can create a new environment, attach the environment to an Apigee instance, and assign the environment to an environment group within the same creation flow.

In addition, users can edit or remove environment group assignments from the environment detail page in the Apigee UI, simplifying management of their Apigee implementation.

For more information, see Working with environments.

The following labels in the Advanced API Security abuse detection view have been changed:

• Detection type has been changed to Detection rules.
• Suspected bot traffic has been changed to Detected traffic.
• Percent bot traffic has been changed to % of detected traffic.
• Bot count has been changed to Detected IP address count.
• Top API key has been changed to: Top app key.
• Bot reason has been changed to Detected rules.
• Total calls made has been changed to Detected traffic.
• First detection time has been changed to First event detected.
• Last detection time has been changed to Last event detected.

This release includes new Permissions Pre-check functionality and UI messaging, which is available when provisioning Apigee with Pay-as-you-go pricing in the Google Cloud console. With the release of this feature, users are alerted when any permissions required to complete the provisioning operations are missing. The missing permissions and the steps to resolve are now identified in the UI messaging.

Public preview release of the Apigee UI in the Google Cloud console

This release includes a new version of the Apigee UI that is integrated with the Google Cloud console. The new UI makes it easier to perform Apigee tasks that are managed in the Cloud console. We welcome your feedback on the new UI: click Send Feedback at the top of the UI.

For now, you can continue to use the classic Apigee UI if you wish: just click Back to Classic Apigee in the new UI.

The following tabs in the classic Apigee UI have not yet been implemented in the Apigee UI in the Cloud console, but they will be available there soon:

• Develop > Integrations
• API Security
• Monetization
• Analyze > API Metrics > Cache Performance,
• Analyze > API Metrics > Target Performance
• Analyze > Developers
• Analyze > End Users
• Publish > Portals

If you need to use these features, you can do so by switching to the classic Apigee UI.

This release will be rolled out over the next week, so you might not be able to view the new Apgee UI until the rollout is complete.

GA release of the new Proxy Editor

The new Proxy Editor simplifies the process of adding policies to an API proxy, configuring those policies, and then deploying the proxy.

Specify an IP range with prefix /28 when creating a new instance

Previously, you could only specify an IP range with prefix /22 when creating an instance. This change makes it possible to specify /28 ranges as well as /22 ranges when creating an Apigee instance in the instance manager or the provisioning wizard.

In this release, you can view both the visual editor and the text editor at the same time in the Develop view, without having to manually switch between the two. You can also resize the display area of either editor to view it more easily. See Change the target endpoint for a description of the changes to the editor layout.

This release contains a new version of the Debug tab in the Apigee Proxy Editor. Following previous releases of new versions of the Overview and Develop tabs, this completes the initial release of the new Proxy Editor.

To view the new Debug tab, see Using Debug.

The Data Collectors UI is now generally available.

A search bar has been added to the new Proxy Editor Develop view. This lets you search for items within a proxy or sharedflow bundle.

You can now create and manage Private Service Connect (PSC) endpoint attachments in the Apigee UI. For details, see Creating an endpoint attachment.

We have released a new version of the Develop tab in the Proxy Editor. See Introducing the new Proxy Editor.

The UI for managing Apigee instances has been updated and improved:

• You can now specify a list of accepted Cloud projects that can privately connect to the instance's service attachment.
• The New Instance dialog is replaced by a dedicated Create new instance configuration page with fields for specifying or creating a disk encryption key and for editing the list of accepted projects.
• The Edit instance dialog is replaced by a dedicated page that lets you add or remove environments and edit the list of accepted projects that can privately connect to the instance's service attachment.
• The UI now lets you select the disk encryption key from a list and provides a convenient flow if you want to create a new key.
• The UI for deleting an instance has changed. There is now a DELETE button on the Instance details page.

For more information, see Managing instances.

The following accessibility improvements have been made in the Apigee UI:

• In the Develop > API Proxies view, the screen reader now reads "Create new proxy" for the Create New button
• In the Traffic column of the API Proxies view, the screen reader now reads the traffic tooltip text, and the tooltip has been removed.
• In the Last Modified column, the screen reader now reads a message like "5 months ago on Sep 17, 2021 6:21 PM," and the tooltip has been removed.
• Hovering the mouse in the Action column now displays a menu showing the Delete item, to make it accessible.

New Overview Tab in Proxy Editor

We have released a new version of the Overview tab in the Proxy Editor. See Introducing the new Proxy Editor.

Note: The new features in this release will be rolled out over the next week, so you might not be able to view them until the rollout is complete.

The UI now shows a warning when an API Product is in legacy format, stating that some of the displayed fields might be legacy fields.

The Apigee provisioning wizard can now auto-allocate /22 and /28 IP address ranges, instead of the larger /21 range

This feature makes it easier to allocate IP address ranges when you are provisioning Apigee. The feature is an enhancement to the IP range feature released on Jan. 24, 2022.
