Rate Limiting Advanced Changelog

Changelog

Kong Gateway 3.4.x

• The redis strategy now catches strategy connection failures.

• The /consumer_groups/:id/overrides endpoint has been deprecated. While this endpoint will still function, we strongly recommend transitioning to the new and improved method for managing consumer groups, as documented in the Enforcing rate limiting tiers with the Rate Limiting Advanced plugin guide. You can also find detailed information on creating consumer groups in the API Documentation.

Kong Gateway 3.2.1

• The shared Redis connector now supports username + password authentication for cluster connections, improving on the existing single-node connection support. This automatically applies to all plugins using the shared Redis configuration.

Kong Gateway 3.1.x

• Added the ability to customize the error code and message with the configuration parameters error_code and error_message.

Kong Gateway 3.0.x

• Kong Gateway now disallows enabling the plugin if the cluster strategy is set with DB-less or hybrid mode.

Kong Gateway 2.8.x

• Added the redis.username and redis.sentinel_username configuration parameters.

• The redis.username, redis.password, redis.sentinel_username, and redis.sentinel_password configuration fields are now marked as referenceable, which means they can be securely stored as secrets in a vault. References must follow a specific format.

Kong Gateway 2.7.x

• Added the enforce_consumer_groups and consumer_groups configuration parameters.

Kong Gateway 2.5.x

• Deprecated the timeout field and replaces it with three precise options: connect_timeout, read_timeout, and send_timeout.
• Added redis.keepalive_pool, redis.keepalive_pool_size, and redis.keepalive_backlog configuration options.
• ssl_verify and server_name configuration options now support Redis Sentinel-based connections.

Kong Gateway 2.2.x

• Added the redis.ssl, redis.ssl_verify, and redis.server_name parameters for configuring TLS connections.
