Bug Fix

Delete last public variables

Resolved bug that prevented to delete all the public variables. Now the deletion of the last public variable works properly.

Warning for missing secret for environment variables

Before deploying, the warning message regarding secrets not found on cluster was not correctly signaling the absence of secrets when they had been added as source of a microservice environment variable value.

Microservice environment variable edit through drawer

When configuring a microservice environment variable, opening the lateral drawer and saving without making any edit was causing the application to fail. The bug has now been fixed.

Marketplace sync

The Console Helm Chart has been updated to correctly synchronize all the properties of the microservices in the Marketplace when updating Mia-Platform Console in On Premise installations.

Improvements

Textarea for every environment in Public Variable creation popover

The pop-over to create a new Public Variable offers now a textarea field for every environment, to simplify the creation of variables with large values in projects with numerous environments.

OpenShift support for HPA and Log Parser

Configuration generated for OpenShift clusters now completely supports HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) and Mia-Platform standard log parser annotations.

v7.2.3

March 17, 2021

Improvements

Masked environment variables

In the Environments area variables are now hidden by default. You can show them by clicking the button "Show variables value" in the card top-right corner.

Additionally, the UI of the page has been revised:

• The "Add new environment variable" button has been moved to the top-right corner
• The Edit and Delete commands have been replaced by the dedicated icons

Public Variables drawer

Public Variables are now editable using the drawer UI with textareas to make it easier to edit large variables. Inline editing is still possible.

Delete System of Record

Systems of Record can now be deleted when they have no projections. To do that, just click on the Delete button at the bottom-right corner of the System of Record detail page. If you delete all the Systems of Records, the default Projections Changes collection will be deleted as well, because it is no more useful.

Bug Fix

MLP backslash escaping

Fixed a bug affecting Mia-Platform pipelines that caused Environment variables with backslash character to be improperly escaped. To take advantage of the fix you need to use Mia-Platform pipelines v3.
Contact your Mia-Platform technical referent to update your pipelines.

API Portal with proper log parser

Documentation Portal is now configured to use proper mia-nginx log parser.

Backoffice endpoint permission conversion

It is now possible to set the backoffice endpoint permissions to 0 avoiding the unintentional malfunctioning of the Authorization Service. The preferred way to write the logical expression in the endpoint permission is still to use true or false instead of 1 or 0.

Validation on Fast Data Projections' name

Validation on Fast Data Projections' name was missing for projections belonging to different Systems of Record. The creation of Fast Data Projections in different Systems of Record with the same name is now forbidden.

UI Improvements

Browser tab title revision

The browser tab title now shows the Console section and the project you are working on to speed up navigation across multiple tabs.

Bug Fix

Cross Project Proxy

Fixed bugs regarding the configuration of proxies of Cross Project type:

• The creation of a cross-project proxy targeting the project itself was not possible when trying to save the configuration
• The edit of the namespace caused a wrong update of the port
• When using the default namespace at creation, the value was not correctly saved.

Duplicated Git repository owners

For certain projects, GitLab groups were being shown twice when selecting the Git repository owner during microservice creation; the issue has been resolved.

Disabled commit at index creation

During the index creation, commits were disabled if no index field was specified. Indexes now require to specify at least the first field before being created.

Secret fields validation for environment variables

Added missing validation on secret name and secret key during the creation and edit of environment variables from secret. These two patterns follow Kubernetes naming convention for secrets.
