2019-10-18

Ian met with Pantheon's Matt Paladino yesterday and discussed options for our Drupal 8 developer portal and hosting with Pantheon.

Matt and Ian discussed various options to setup the site and maintain it over time.
Objective was to have Drupal 8 core, Drupal community modules (which includes the Apigee modules) and UCSB Public Affairs theme and modules all as upstreams to our Drupal 8 developer portal. The good news is I think we can do this.

The bad news is we can not have ALL these flow into our developer portal at the click up a few buttons in our Pantheon dashboard.

So... of those three:

• 1.) Drupal core
• 2.) Drupal community modules
• 3.) UCSB Public Affairs theme/distro

Q: Which is the most important to have updates deployed via the pantheon dashboard?
A: Drupal core updates.
Because we want to be able to deploy security updates as quickly and easily as possible.
And we can do this. Pantheon's basic Drupal 8 site template comes with updates from Pantheon deployable via the dashboard.

For community modules....
We'll need to use composer (PHP dependecy manager) and Git to make updates on community modules including the Apigee modules.

For UCSB Public affairs theme & distro
We'll need to define the UCSB Public Affairs code a second "remote" in our Git repo. This will allow us to fold any changes made by UCSB Public Affairs into our codebase with minimal effort.

Note: If we had money to throw at the problem we could purchase a higher tier of service from Pantheon called "Mangaged updates". With this service Pantheon would also manage and deploy updates to Drupal community modules for us.

• christian.montecino (Unlicensed) Google analytics api usage reports - there is an issue with recording API usage. it does not match the gateway data. (APIGEE-189)

• 01 Nov 2019 Christian - sending traffic to Splunk since last week. The counts match! Christian has requested accounts for us. UCSB has an Enterprise license of Splunk. 
• 08 Nov 2019 We all have access to Splunk now. https://splunkweb.ets.ucsb.edu/. Christian will ask ETS to give us access to the dataset. Christian will add a documentation page Splunk Integrator to the developer portal, Gateway Admin section.

• Steven Maglio Create requirements in Confluence (APIGEE-209)
  1. Confluence: Account Cleanup Project
  2. Dev Portal: Account Cleanup
  3. Can we add API Proxy name to the data that is collected?

26 Sep 2019 Database that collects weekly statistics was moved to a SIST dev server. Will move it to AWS when we get an account, possibly using Lambda functions. For now, the code (powershell) will be put in Github Apigee team.

08 Nov 2019 Gaucho Space will continue to use the DeptCourses API as they need an extract of all courses. We need to contact Patrick Windmiller to switch to the new APIs. We can ask ESCI and Library as well.
