Monitoring

Monitor all your app and DB servers using the Monitoring feature. A small service running on all nodes reports performance and health data to ApiOmat. The Dashboard will provide straightforward filtering and scaling mechanisms to detect problems even before they occur.

See more details at the docu page.

More supported operating systems

Beginning with Version 2.4.0, we are supporting Suse Enterpise Linux 12 as well as Ubuntu 16 LT S. Find all available installers at the installing manual.

New config file

Version 2.4 uses by default a new yaml based config file, which is usually created in the config directory as apiomat.yaml. Dashboard and YAMBAS settings can be set there hierarchically. See more in the documentation.

New repository URL

Due to the support of new operating systems, we had to change the linux repository path and user. To update to version 2.4.x, please remove the old apt/rpm repository and add the new one according to the documentation before starting the update command.

Updated Swagger Version 1.5 with OpenAPI 2.0

Version 2.4 has migrated to the newest Swagger version 1.5, which is implementing the OpenAPI specification 2.0. This way, the Swagger generated definition of models and data can be used in a series of other tools to automatically connect to ApiOmat.

Because the format changed according to the new specification, all existing modules must download the new swagger-annotations.jar (using a downloadNativeModule / Pull action) and change the swagger library package name in the RestClass:

RestClass.java

//old
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.Api;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiOperation;
import com.wordnik.swagger.annotations.ApiParam;
 
//new
import io.swagger.annotations.Api;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiOperation;
import io.swagger.annotations.ApiParam;

Old implementations of rest classes will still work, but not shown in ApiDocs nor in the MyModules page in Dashboard.

Please pay attention that all rest endpoints are visible by default in Apidocs. This was different in older swagger versions. To hide a endpoint, simply annotate it with @ApiOperation( hidden = true, value = "" )

No serialization anymore in native modules

Like the git based modules, now even the JAR based modules do not need any (Kryo-) serialization anymore. This means:

No performance overhead from serialization
No additional database access necessary when using many referenced objects
Modifying the class will not break the module in most cases
No generated read/write method in model classes
Usage of constructors now possible.

Old code can remain as-is. More information can be found in documentation.

Delta Sync variant with small header

When having thousands of data entries stored offline in client, on some installations the header of the client became too large. To enable offline handling and delta sync even for this use cases, we offer a new variant of delta sync which requires only a timestamp to be send with the client request.

To enable this variant on server side, the audit functionality (coming next) has to be enabled in apiomat.yaml /yambas.conf:

apiomat.yaml

common:
   ...
   audit:
      enabled: true

yambas.conf

isAuditEnabled=true

The documentation contains more infromation on how to enable on client side.
