PluginWithoutParents

A Plugin entity represents a plugin configuration that will be executed during the HTTP request/response lifecycle. It is how you can add functionalities to Services that run behind Kong, like Authentication or Rate Limiting for example. You can find more information about how to install and what values each plugin takes by visiting the [Kong Hub](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/). When adding a Plugin Configuration to a Service, every request made by a client to that Service will run said Plugin. If a Plugin needs to be tuned to different values for some specific Consumers, you can do so by creating a separate plugin instance that specifies both the Service and the Consumer, through the `service` and `consumer` fields.

Properties

Name Type Description
condition string An expression used for conditional control over plugin execution. If the expression evaluates to `true` during the request flow, the plugin is executed; otherwise, it is skipped.
config object The configuration properties for the Plugin which can be found on the plugins documentation page in the [Kong Hub](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/).
consumer object If set, the plugin will activate only for requests where the specified has been authenticated. (Note that some plugins can not be restricted to consumers this way.). Leave unset for the plugin to acti
consumer_group object If set, the plugin will activate only for requests where the specified group has been authenticated
created_at integer Unix epoch when the resource was created.
enabled boolean Whether the plugin is applied.
id string A string representing a UUID (universally unique identifier).
instance_name string A unique string representing a UTF-8 encoded name.
name string The name of the Plugin that's going to be added. Currently, the Plugin must be installed in every Kong instance separately.
ordering object
partials array A list of partials to be used by the plugin.
protocols array A list of the request protocols that will trigger this plugin. The default value, as well as the possible values allowed on this field, may change depending on the plugin type. For example, plugins th
route object If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via the specified route. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the Route being used.
service object If set, the plugin will only activate when receiving requests via one of the routes belonging to the specified Service. Leave unset for the plugin to activate regardless of the Service being matched.
