limit-conn

Summary

Name

Limiting request concurrency plugin.

Attributes

Name Type Requirement Default Valid Description
conn integer required conn > 0 the maximum number of concurrent requests allowed. Requests exceeding this ratio (and below conn + burst) will get delayed(the latency seconds is configured by default_conn_delay) to conform to this threshold.
burst integer required burst >= 0 the number of excessive concurrent requests (or connections) allowed to be delayed.
default_conn_delay number required default_conn_delay > 0 the latency seconds of request when concurrent requests exceeding conn but below (conn + burst).
key object required ["remote_addr", "server_addr", "http_x_real_ip", "http_x_forwarded_for", "consumer_name"] to limit the concurrency level.
For example, one can use the host name (or server zone) as the key so that we limit concurrency per host name. Otherwise, we can also use the client address as the key so that we can avoid a single client from flooding our service with too many parallel connections or requests.
Now accept those as key: "remote_addr"(client's IP), "server_addr"(server's IP), "X-Forwarded-For/X-Real-IP" in request header, "consumer_name"(consumer's username).
rejected_code string optional 503 [200,...,599] returned when the request exceeds conn + burst will be rejected.

Key can be customized by the user, only need to modify a line of code of the plug-in to complete. It is a security consideration that is not open in the plugin.

When used in the stream proxy, only remote_addr and server_addr can be used as key. And rejected_code is meaningless.

How To Enable

Here's an example, enable the limit-conn plugin on the specified route:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/index.html",
    "plugins": {
        "limit-conn": {
            "conn": 1,
            "burst": 0,
            "default_conn_delay": 0.1,
            "rejected_code": 503,
            "key": "remote_addr"
        }
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "39.97.63.215:80": 1
        }
    }
}'

You can open dashboard with a browser: http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/dashboard/, to complete the above operation through the web interface, first add a route:

Then add limit-conn plugin:

Test Plugin

The parameters of the plugin enabled above indicate that only one concurrent request is allowed. When more than one concurrent request is received, will return 503 directly.

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html?sleep=20 &

curl -i http://127.0.0.1:9080/index.html?sleep=20
<html>
<head><title>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</h1></center>
<hr><center>openresty</center>
</body>
</html>

This means that the limit request concurrency plugin is in effect.

Disable Plugin

When you want to disable the limit-conn plugin, it is very simple, you can delete the corresponding json configuration in the plugin configuration, no need to restart the service, it will take effect immediately:

curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
    "methods": ["GET"],
    "uri": "/index.html",
    "id": 1,
    "plugins": {
    },
    "upstream": {
        "type": "roundrobin",
        "nodes": {
            "39.97.63.215:80": 1
        }
    }
}'

The limit-conn plugin has been disabled now. It works for other plugins.
