Creating Private Locations

A private location is a Mule application that runs in an environment in CloudHub 1.0 or Cloudhub 2.0. You can run tests against APIs that are accessible only within the private location. The private location environment might have an Anypoint VPC associated with it. You can create multiple private locations in a single instance of Anypoint VPC.

You can create a private location when you:

This procedure explains how to create a private location when you modify a schedule.

For information about private locations and their uses, see Monitoring the Endpoints of Private APIs.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure that your Anypoint Platform organization has a subscription to Anypoint Virtual Private Cloud.

  • Ensure that you have the following permission set in Access Management:

    • Runtime Manager > Create Applications

An Anypoint Platform administrator for your organization grants permission. See Manage Permissions.

Create a Private Location

To create a private location:

  1. When creating a test or schedule, click the field under Select location and select Create new location.

  2. Name the location.

    The name can be up to 255 characters, and can include spaces and special characters.

  3. Select the environment for the tests.

  4. Select the deployment target.

  5. Complete the creation of the of test or schedule.

    While API Functional Monitoring is registering the private location, the status indicator is yellow. After the location is successfully registered, the status indicator is green.

  6. If the status indicator is red:

    1. Navigate to Runtime Manager and restart the application/worker cloudhub application.

    2. Check the logs for the application/worker cloudhub application to troubleshoot the issue.

What to Do Next

You can now run tests from the private location, either by adding a schedule that uses the location or by modifying an existing schedule to use it.
