[Question] Override policies in higher environments

[karthikpeddi115]

Release version

v6.0.1.1

Question Details

Hi Team, We have a requirement to override the policies which are resided under extracted artifacts folder. artifacts/apis/apiname/operations/policy.xml

We came to know that we need to use named values to override the above policies, but as per our artifacts, namedvalues has a different information which is looking like below.

I have gone through closed cases and it is more likely looking like this case https://github.com/Azure/apiops/issues/300 and https://github.com/Azure/apiops/issues/281

Not able to understand, how can I override over policy.xml details in the below named values. Can you please make an example for the same?

Expected behavior

As per the first image, I want to override rate limit value in the policy from 40 to 100 in higher environments.

Actual behavior

Not able to find solution on how to override policy details using namedvalues, please provide an example.

Reproduction Steps

Not able to find solution on how to override policy details using namedvalues, please provide an example.

You need to create a namedValue across each APIM instance that has the same name, e.g. rateLimitValue

Your policy XML will simply contain a variable of this name instead of the numerical value currently:

{{rateLimitValue}}

Then using the override prod.yaml file you can simply override the value for each higher instance like so:

namedValues:
- name: rateLimitValue
  properties:
    displayName: rateLimitValue
    secret: false
    value: 100
