Limit Conn | APISIX & API7 API Gateway Docs

Parameters

See plugin common configurations for configuration options available to all plugins.

conn
integer
required
vaild vaule:
greater than 0
The maximum number of concurrent requests allowed. Requests exceeding the configured limit and below conn + burst will be delayed.
burst
integer
required
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 0
The number of excessive concurrent requests allowed to be delayed per second. Requests exceeding the limit will be rejected immediately.
default_conn_delay
number
required
vaild vaule:
greater than 0
Processing latency allowed in seconds for concurrent requests exceeding conn + burst, which can be dynamically adjusted based on only_use_default_delay setting.
only_use_default_delay
boolean
default: false
If false, delay requests proportionally based on how much they exceed the conn limit. The delay grows larger as congestion increases. For instance, with conn being 5, burst being 3, and default_conn_delay being 1, 6 concurrent requests would result in a 1-second delay, 7 requests a 2-second delay, 8 requests a 3-second delay, and so on, until the total limit of conn + burst is reached, beyond which requests are rejected.
If true, use default_conn_delay to delay all excessive requests within the burst range. Requests beyond conn + burst are rejected immediately. For instance, with conn being 5, burst being 3, and default_conn_delay being 1, 6, 7, or 8 concurrent requests are all delayed by exactly 1 second each.
key_type
string
default: var
vaild vaule:
var or var_combination
The type of key.
If the key_type is var, the key is interpreted a variable.
If the key_type is var_combination, the key is interpreted as a combination of variables.
key
string
required
The key to count requests by.
If the key_type is var, the key is interpreted a variable. The variable does not need to be prefixed by a dollar sign ($). See built-in variables for avaialble variables.
If the key_type is var_combination, the key is interpreted as a combination of variables. All variables should be prefixed by dollar signs ($). For example, to configure the key to use a combination of two request headers custom-a and custom-b, the key should be configured as $http_custom_a $http_custom_b.
rejected_code
integer
default: 503
vaild vaule:
between 200 and 599 inclusive
The HTTP status code returned when a request is rejected for exceeding the threshold.
rejected_msg
string
vaild vaule:
any non-empty string
The response body returned when a request is rejected for exceeding the threshold.
allow_degradation
boolean
default: false
If true, allow APISIX to continue handling requests without the plugin when the plugin or its dependencies become unavailable.
policy
string
default: local
vaild vaule:
local, redis, or redis-cluster
The policy for rate limiting counter. If it is local, the counter is stored in memory locally. If it is redis, the counter is stored on a Redis instance. If it is redis-cluster, the counter is stored in a Redis cluster.
redis_host
string
The address of the Redis node. Required when policy is redis.
redis_port
integer
default: 6379
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1
The port of the Redis node when policy is redis.
redis_username
string
The username for Redis if Redis ACL is used. If you use the legacy authentication method requirepass, configure only the redis_password. Used when policy is redis.
redis_password
string
default: 6379
The password of the Redis node when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
redis_database
integer
default: 0
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 0
The database number in Redis when policy is redis.
redis_ssl
boolean
default: false
If true, use SSL to connect to Redis cluster when policy is redis.
redis_ssl_verify
boolean
default: false
If true, verify the server SSL certificate when policy is redis.
redis_timeout
integer
default: 1000
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1
The Redis timeout value in milliseconds when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_nodes
array[string]
The list of the Redis cluster nodes with at least two addresses. Required when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_name
string
The name of the Redis cluster. Required when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_ssl
boolean
default: false
If true, use SSL to connect to Redis cluster when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_ssl_verify
boolean
default: false
If true, verify the server SSL certificate when policy is redis-cluster.
