API Management helps organizations publish APIs to external, partner, and internal developers to unlock the potential of their data and services.

Businesses everywhere want to extend their operations as a digital platform, creating new channels, finding new customers, and driving deeper engagement with existing ones. API Management provides the core competencies to ensure a successful API program through developer engagement, business insights, analytics, security, and protection.

You can use Azure API Management to take any back end and launch a full-fledged API program based on it. Also, use the Azure public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the Azure service.

Setup

To set up the Azure integration and discover the API Management, do the following:

  1. Create an Azure Integration if not available in your installed integrations. For more information on how to install the Azure Integration, refer to Install Azure integration.

  2. Create a discovery profile.

  3. Select Azure API Management under the Filter Criteria on the Edit Discovery Profile page.

  4. Save the discovery profile to make it available in the list of Discovery Profiles.

  5. Scan to discover the resources at any time independent of the predefined schedule.

  6. Once the scan is completed, you can view the API Management resources under Infrastructure > Resources > Microsoft Azure category.

  7. Create a template with collector type Azure and applicable for API Management. See Create a Template for more information on how to create a template.

  8. Refer to Assign a Template on how to assign a template to a resource.

  9. Click the Metrics tab to view the monitoring data of Azure API Management.

Event support

OpsRamp supports Azure events for Azure API Management. Configure Azure Events in OpsRamp Azure integration discovery profile. See Process Azure Events for more information on how to configure Azure events.
