Description
Please select the area the issue is related to
Gateway
Please select the aspect the issue is related to
Aspect/API (API backends, definitions, contracts, interfaces, OpenAPI)
Description
When you delete an API from the Platform Gateway, it is correctly removed from the router, and the API no longer accepts requests. However, when you check the Policy Engine config_dump, the routes for the deleted API are still present.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start the platform gateway independently with
config_dumpenabled - Create a sample API
- Observe the API is responding
- Delete the API
- Observe the API is not responding
- Goto
http://localhost:9002/config_dumpand observe the dangling routes of the deleted API
