Compatible protocols
The AI Semantic Cache plugin is compatible with the following protocols:
grpc
, grpcs
, http
, https
Parameters
Here's a list of all the parameters which can be used in this plugin's configuration:
-
name or plugin
string requiredThe name of the plugin, in this case
ai-semantic-cache
.- If using the Kong Admin API, Konnect API, declarative configuration, or decK files, the field is
name
. - If using the KongPlugin object in Kubernetes, the field is
plugin
.
- If using the Kong Admin API, Konnect API, declarative configuration, or decK files, the field is
-
instance_name
stringAn optional custom name to identify an instance of the plugin, for example
ai-semantic-cache_my-service
.The instance name shows up in Kong Manager and in Konnect, so it's useful when running the same plugin in multiple contexts, for example, on multiple services. You can also use it to access a specific plugin instance via the Kong Admin API.
An instance name must be unique within the following context:
- Within a workspace for Kong Gateway Enterprise
- Within a control plane or control plane group for Konnect
- Globally for Kong Gateway (OSS)

consumer.name or consumer.id
stringThe name or ID of the consumer the plugin targets. Set one of these parameters if adding the plugin to a consumer through the top-level
/plugins
endpoint. Not required if using/consumers/{consumerName|Id}/plugins

default
.

strategy
-
keepalive_pool_size
integer default:256
between:1
2147483646
The size limit for every cosocket connection pool associated with every remote server, per worker process. If neither
keepalive_pool_size
norkeepalive_backlog
is specified, no pool is created. Ifkeepalive_pool_size
isn’t specified butkeepalive_backlog
is specified, then the pool uses the default value. Try to increase (e.g. 512) this value if latency is high or throughput is low.
-
keepalive_backlog
integer between:0
2147483646
Limits the total number of opened connections for a pool. If the connection pool is full, connection queues above the limit go into the backlog queue. If the backlog queue is full, subsequent connect operations fail and return
nil
. Queued operations (subject to set timeouts) resume once the number of connections in the pool is less thankeepalive_pool_size
. If latency is high or throughput is low, try increasing this value. Empirically, this value is larger thankeepalive_pool_size
.
