context_limiter #

Description #

The context_limiter filter is used to control the traffic based on request context.

Configuration Example #

A configuration example is as follows:

flow:
  - name: default_flow
    filter:
      - context_limiter:
          max_requests: 1
          action: drop
          context:
            - _ctx.request.path
            - _ctx.request.header.Host
            - _ctx.request.header.Env

The above configuration combines three context variables (_ctx.request.path, _ctx.request.header.Host, and _ctx.request.header.Env) into a bucket for traffic control. The allowable maximum queries per second (QPS) is 1 per second. Subsequent requests out of the traffic control range are directly denied.
