AI Semantic Cache Configuration

By Kong Inc.
You are browsing unreleased documentation.

Configuration

This plugin is compatible with DB-less mode.

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 required

    The 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.

  • instance_name

    string

    An 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)

  • service.name or service.id

    string

    The name or ID of the service the plugin targets. Set one of these parameters if adding the plugin to a service through the top-level /plugins endpoint. Not required if using /services/{serviceName|Id}/plugins.

  • route.name or route.id

    string

    The name or ID of the route the plugin targets. Set one of these parameters if adding the plugin to a route through the top-level /plugins endpoint. Not required if using /routes/{routeName|Id}/plugins.

  • consumer.name or consumer.id

    string

    The 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.

        • username

          string referenceable

          Username to use for Redis connections. If undefined, ACL authentication won’t be performed. This requires Redis v6.0.0+. To be compatible with Redis v5.x.y, you can set it to default.

        • password

          string referenceable encrypted

          Password to use for Redis connections. If undefined, no AUTH commands are sent to Redis.

        • sentinel_username

          string referenceable

          Sentinel username to authenticate with a Redis Sentinel instance. If undefined, ACL authentication won’t be performed. This requires Redis v6.2.0+.

        • sentinel_password

          string referenceable encrypted

          Sentinel password to authenticate with a Redis Sentinel instance. If undefined, no AUTH commands are sent to Redis Sentinels.

        • database

          integer default: 0

          Database to use for the Redis connection when using the redis 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 nor keepalive_backlog is specified, no pool is created. If keepalive_pool_size isn’t specified but keepalive_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 than keepalive_pool_size. If latency is high or throughput is low, try increasing this value. Empirically, this value is larger than keepalive_pool_size.

        • sentinel_master

          string

          Sentinel master to use for Redis connections. Defining this value implies using Redis Sentinel.

        • sentinel_role

          string Must be one of: master, slave, any

          Sentinel role to use for Redis connections when the redis strategy is defined. Defining this value implies using Redis Sentinel.

        • sentinel_nodes

          array of type record len_min: 1

          Sentinel node addresses to use for Redis connections when the redis strategy is defined. Defining this field implies using a Redis Sentinel. The minimum length of the array is 1 element.

            A string representing a host name, such as example.com.

        • cluster_nodes

          array of type record len_min: 1

        • ssl_verify

          boolean default: false

          If set to true, verifies the validity of the server SSL certificate. If setting this parameter, also configure lua_ssl_trusted_certificate in kong.conf to specify the CA (or server) certificate used by your Redis server. You may also need to configure lua_ssl_verify_depth accordingly.

        • server_name

          string

          A string representing an SNI (server name indication) value for TLS.

        • cluster_max_redirections

          integer default: 5

          Maximum retry attempts for redirection.

        • connection_is_proxied

          boolean default: false

          If the connection to Redis is proxied (e.g. Envoy), set it true. Set the host and port to point to the proxy address.
