Basic configuration examples

Enable on a service

Enable on a route

Enable on a consumer

Enable on a consumer group

Enable globally

The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling the ai-rate-limiting-advanced plugin on a service.

Kong Admin API

Konnect API

Kubernetes

Declarative (YAML)

Konnect Terraform

Make the following request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/services/{serviceName|Id}/plugins \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '
    {
  "name": "ai-rate-limiting-advanced",
  "config": {
    "llm_providers": [
      {
        "name": "openai",
        "limit": 1000,
        "window_size": 3600
      },
      {
        "name": "mistral",
        "limit": 100,
        "window_size": 60
      }
    ]
  }
}
    '

Replace SERVICE_NAME|ID with the id or name of the service that this plugin configuration will target.

Make the following request, substituting your own access token, region, control plane ID, and service ID:

curl -X POST \
https://{us|eu}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/services/{serviceId}/plugins \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
    --data '{"name":"ai-rate-limiting-advanced","config":{"llm_providers":[{"name":"openai","limit":1000,"window_size":3600},{"name":"mistral","limit":100,"window_size":60}]}}'

See the Konnect API reference to learn about region-specific URLs and personal access tokens.

First, create a KongPlugin resource:

echo "
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
  name: ai-rate-limiting-advanced-example
plugin: ai-rate-limiting-advanced
config:
  llm_providers:
  - name: openai
    limit: 1000
    window_size: 3600
  - name: mistral
    limit: 100
    window_size: 60
" | kubectl apply -f -

Next, apply the KongPlugin resource to an ingress by annotating the service as follows:

kubectl annotate service SERVICE_NAME konghq.com/plugins=ai-rate-limiting-advanced-example

Replace SERVICE_NAME with the name of the service that this plugin configuration will target. You can see your available ingresses by running kubectl get service.

Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as a KongClusterPlugin instead of KongPlugin.

Add this section to your declarative configuration file:

plugins:
- name: ai-rate-limiting-advanced
  service: SERVICE_NAME|ID
  config:
    llm_providers:
    - name: openai
      limit: 1000
      window_size: 3600
    - name: mistral
      limit: 100
      window_size: 60

Replace SERVICE_NAME|ID with the id or name of the service that this plugin configuration will target.

Prerequisite: Configure your Personal Access Token

terraform {
  required_providers {
    konnect = {

    }
  }
}

provider "konnect" {
  personal_access_token = "kpat_YOUR_TOKEN"
  server_url            = "https://us.api.konghq.com/"
}

Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:

resource "konnect_gateway_plugin_ai_rate_limiting_advanced" "my_ai_rate_limiting_advanced" {
  enabled = true

  config = {
    llm_providers = [
      {
        name = "openai"
        limit = 1000
        window_size = 3600
      }, 

      {
        name = "mistral"
        limit = 100
        window_size = 60
      }    ]
  }

  control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
  service = {
    id = konnect_gateway_service.my_service.id
  }
}

The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling the ai-rate-limiting-advanced plugin on a route.

Kong Admin API

        "limit": 100,
        "window_size": 60
      }
    ]
  }
}
    '

Replace ROUTE_NAME|ID with the id or name of the route that this plugin configuration will target.

Make the following request, substituting your own access token, region, control plane ID, and route ID:

" | kubectl apply -f -

Next, apply the KongPlugin resource to an ingress by annotating the ingress as follows:

kubectl annotate ingress INGRESS_NAME konghq.com/plugins=ai-rate-limiting-advanced-example

Replace INGRESS_NAME with the name of the ingress that this plugin configuration will target. You can see your available ingresses by running kubectl get ingress.

Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as a KongClusterPlugin instead of KongPlugin.

  }

  control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
  route = {
    id = konnect_gateway_route.my_route.id
  }
}

The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling the ai-rate-limiting-advanced plugin on a consumer.

Replace CONSUMER_NAME with the name of the consumer that this plugin configuration will target. You can see your available consumers by running kubectl get KongConsumer.

To learn more about KongConsumer objects, see Provisioning Consumers and Credentials.

Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as a KongClusterPlugin instead of KongPlugin.

Next, apply the KongPlugin resource to an ingress by annotating the KongConsumerGroup object as follows:

kubectl annotate KongConsumerGroup CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME konghq.com/plugins=ai-rate-limiting-advanced-example

Replace CONSUMER_GROUP_NAME with the name of the consumer group that this plugin configuration will target. You can see your available consumer groups by running kubectl get KongConsumerGroup.

Note: The KongPlugin resource only needs to be defined once and can be applied to any service, consumer, consumer group, or route in the namespace. If you want the plugin to be available cluster-wide, create the resource as a KongClusterPlugin instead of KongPlugin.

  control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
  consumer_group = {
    id = konnect_gateway_consumer_group.my_consumer_group.id
  }
}

A plugin which is not associated to any service, route, consumer, or consumer group is considered global, and will be run on every request.

In self-managed Kong Gateway Enterprise, the plugin applies to every entity in a given workspace.
In self-managed Kong Gateway (OSS), the plugin applies to your entire environment.
In Konnect, the plugin applies to every entity in a given control plane.

Read the Plugin Reference and the Plugin Precedence sections for more information.

The following examples provide some typical configurations for enabling the AI Rate Limiting Advanced plugin globally.
