​Readme Metrics Policy

Readme is a developer Documentation and metrics service. This policy pushes the request/response data to their ingestion endpoint so you can see your Zuplo API traffic in their API calls dashboard.

​Configuration

The configuration shows how to configure the policy in the 'policies.json' document.

{
  "name": "my-readme-metrics-inbound-policy",
  "policyType": "readme-metrics-inbound",
  "handler": {
    "export": "ReadmeMetricsInboundPolicy",
    "module": "$import(@zuplo/runtime)",
    "options": {
      "apiKey": "$env(README_API_KEY)",
      "url": "https://metrics.readme.io/request",
      "useFullRequestPath": false,
      "userEmailPropertyPath": ""
    }
  }
}

​Policy Configuration

• name <string> - The name of your policy instance. This is used as a reference in your routes.
• policyType <string> - The identifier of the policy. This is used by the Zuplo UI. Value should be readme-metrics-inbound.
• handler.export <string> - The name of the exported type. Value should be ReadmeMetricsInboundPolicy.
• handler.module <string> - The module containing the policy. Value should be $import(@zuplo/runtime).
• handler.options <object> - The options for this policy. See Policy Options below.

​Policy Options

The options for this policy are specified below. All properties are optional unless specifically marked as required.

• apiKey (required) <string> - The API key to use when sending metrics calls to Readme.
• userLabelPropertyPath <string> - This is the path to the property on request.user that contains the label you want to use. For example .data.accountNumber would read the request.user.data.accountNumber property. Defaults to ".sub".
• userEmailPropertyPath <string> - This is the path to the property on request.user that contains the e-mail of the user. For example .data.email would read the request.user.data.email property. Defaults to "".
• development <boolean> - Whether the data should be ingested as 'development' mode or not. Defaults to true for working-copy and false for all other environments.
• useFullRequestPath <boolean> - When true, Zuplo sends the full request path (which might contain sensitive information). By default, we only send the route path which should not contain sensitive information. Defaults to false.
• url <string> - The URL to send metering events. This is useful for testing purposes. Defaults to "https://metrics.readme.io/request".
