Add usage plans
Decide on the usage plans that you want to make visible to your users in the developer portal.
Add usage plans
You can add information about the usage plan, such as a display name and a description that you want to show to users that access the developer portal.
-
Get the usage plans that you set up earlier. The usage plans are set in the rate limit server configuration.
kubectl get ratelimitserverconfigs usage-plans -n gloo-mesh-addons -o yaml
-
Select the usage plans that you want to include in your portal. To reference a usage plan in your portal resource, you need to get the
simpleDescriptors.value
value. In the following example, the usage plan value isbronze
.... spec: destinationServers: - port: name: grpc ref: cluster: $CLUSTER_NAME name: rate-limiter namespace: gloo-mesh-addons raw: setDescriptors: - rateLimit: requestsPerUnit: 1 unit: MINUTE simpleDescriptors: - key: userId - key: usagePlan value: bronze
-
Add the usage plan values to the
usagePlans
section of your portal resource. Make sure to enter the usage plan value that you retrieved in the previous step in thespec.usagePlans.name
field. You can optionally add information, such as the display name or a description for each usage plan that is shown to users that access the developer portal. For example, you might include pricing details, rate limiting, or access instructions in the plan description.
