Route requests based on a location header
Configure the plugin to route request to different Upstreams based on the value of the location header.
See Route requests to different Upstreams based on headers for a full how-to guide with this example.
Prerequisites
- You have created two Upstreams.
Add this section to your declarative configuration file:
_format_version: "3.0"
plugins:
- name: route-by-header
config:
rules:
- upstream_name: east-upstream
condition:
location: us-east
- upstream_name: west-upstream
condition:
location: us-west
Make the following request:
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/plugins/ \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '
{
"name": "route-by-header",
"config": {
"rules": [
{
"upstream_name": "east-upstream",
"condition": {
"location": "us-east"
}
},
{
"upstream_name": "west-upstream",
"condition": {
"location": "us-west"
}
}
]
}
}
'
Make the following request:
curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v2/control-planes/{controlPlaneId}/core-entities/plugins/ \
--header "accept: application/json" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
--data '
{
"name": "route-by-header",
"config": {
"rules": [
{

"location": "us-east"
}
},
{
"upstream_name": "west-upstream",
"condition": {
"location": "us-west"
}
}
]
}
}
'
Make sure to replace the following placeholders with your own values:
-
region: Geographic region where your Kong Konnect is hosted and operates. -
controlPlaneId: Theidof the control plane. -
KONNECT_TOKEN: Your Personal Access Token (PAT) associated with your Konnect account.
See the Konnect API reference to learn about region-specific URLs and personal access tokens.
