## Plugin interceptors

有些插件为实现它的功能会注册额外的接口。

由于这些接口不是通过 admin API 添加的，所以没办法像管理 Route 那样管理它们。为了能够保护这些接口不被利用，我们引入了 interceptors 的概念。

下面是通过 interceptors 来保护由 prometheus 插件引入的 `/apisix/prometheus/metrics` 接口，限定只能由 `10.0.0.0/24` 网段的用户访问：

```shell
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/plugin_metadata/prometheus -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -i -X PUT -d '
{
    "interceptors": [
        {
            "name": "ip-restriction",
            "conf": {
                "whitelist": ["10.0.0.0/24"]
            }
        }
    ]
}
```

我们能看到配置 interceptors 就像配置 plugin 一样：name 是 interceptor 的名称，而 conf 是它的配置。

当前我们只支持一部分插件作为 interceptor 运行。
