Adding a Scanner for Kong Gateway
Add a scanner to discover, import, and sync APIs from Kong Gateway into Anypoint Exchange and to discover and read policies from API configurations. Once imported, you can apply governance rulesets and publish them to your developer portal.
In Kong, policies are called plugins. The scanner discovers plugins attached to Kong Gateway services and routes, and the enhanced MuleSoft experience shows those discovered plugins as policies. Plugins applied directly at the service instance level are not currently scanned.
