    Hiya Alok,

    Firstly 2018.4.1.6 is incredibly old. That suggests you haven't applied any maintenance in over 2 years!

    APIC supports any content type - you just need to define your openapi file to describe the API correctly, and then handle whatever you need to do in the assembly. Obviously if you are sending binary files like excel files around then don't enable analytics payload logging since that would provide no value and would hugely bloat the analytics database leading to increased memory and cpu requirements.

    APIC v2018 support ends in 3 months in April 2023. You need to be planning your upgrade to APIC v10.0.5 immediately.

    Regards,

    Chris
