New Features 1.0.5
API Connect Integration
...
Display a dedicated transaction list with only API-C transactions
Filter by API-C fields (e.g. API name, API version, catalog, HTTP method, API urls and a dozen more fields)
Calculate and display latency graphs for each policy execution inside an API (including custom policies)
Provide both API-C and DataPower views of the same transaction, and the ability to switch between them
A new dashboard of APIs and the date they were last executed in the system.
API payloads may now be captured
Automatically run setup DPOD log targets for each new API-C domain created. (This requires enablement in the monitored device configuration). Further configuration based on domain name prefix is available.
To activate API-C integration, perform (from the Web Console) a re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain. You can also use the auto-setup feature to handle API-C domains created in the future.
...
To activate Side Call Analysis on DPOD run re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain.
