APISIX
Plugin Loading Process
Plugin Hierarchy Structure
APISIX Config
For example, set the default listening port of APISIX to 8000, and keep other configurations as default. The configuration in conf/config.yaml
should be like this:
apisix:
node_listen: 8000 # APISIX listening port
Set the default listening port of APISIX to 8000, set the etcd
address to http://foo:2379
,
and keep other configurations as default. The configuration in conf/config.yaml
should be like this:
apisix:
node_listen: 8000 # APISIX listening port
etcd:
host: "http://foo:2379" # etcd address
Other default configurations can be found in the conf/config-default.yaml
file, which is bound to the APISIX source code. Never manually modify the conf/config-default.yaml
file. If you need to customize any configuration, you should update the conf/config.yaml
file.
Note APISIX
will generate conf/nginx.conf
file automatically, so please DO NOT EDIT conf/nginx.conf
file too.
Route
The route matches the client's request by defining rules, then loads and executes the corresponding plugin based on the matching result, and forwards the request to the specified Upstream.
The route mainly consists of three parts: matching rules (e.g uri, host, remote_addr, etc.), plugin configuration (current-limit & rate-limit, etc.) and upstream information.
The following image shows an example of some Route rules. When some attribute values are the same, the figure is identified by the same color.
We configure all the parameters directly in the Route, it's easy to set up, and each Route has a relatively high degree of freedom. But when our Route has more repetitive configurations (such as enabling the same plugin configuration or upstream information), once we need update these same properties, we have to traverse all the Routes and modify them, so it adding a lot of complexity of management and maintenance.
The shortcomings mentioned above are independently abstracted in APISIX by the two concepts Service and Upstream.
The route example created below is to proxy the request with URL /index.html
to the Upstream service with the address 39.97.63.215:80
:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -i -d '
{
"uri": "/index.html",
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"39.97.63.215:80": 1
}
}
}'

When we receive a successful response, it indicates that the route was successfully created.
For specific options of Route, please refer to Admin API.
Service
A Service
is an abstraction of an API (which can also be understood as a set of Route abstractions). It usually corresponds to the upstream service abstraction. Between Route
and Service
, usually the relationship of N:1, please see the following image.
Different Route rules are bound to a Service at the same time. These Routes will have the same upstream and plugin configuration, reducing redundant configuration.
The following example creates a Service that enables the current-limit plugin, and then binds the Route with the id of 100
and 101
to the Service.
# create new Service
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/services/200 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"count": 2,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"39.97.63.215:80": 1
}
}
}'
# create new Route and reference the service by id `200`
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/100 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"methods": ["GET"],
"uri": "/index.html",
"service_id": "200"
}'
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/101 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"methods": ["GET"],
"uri": "/foo/index.html",
"service_id": "200"
}'
Of course, we can also specify different plugin parameters or upstream for Route. Some of the following Routes have different current-limit parameters. Other parts (such as upstream) continue to use the configuration parameters in Service.
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/102 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/bar/index.html",
"id": "102",
"service_id": "200",
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"count": 2000,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
}
}
}'
Note: When both Route and Service enable the same plugin, the Route parameter has a higher priority than Service.
Plugin
Plugin
represents the plugin configuration that will be executed during the HTTP
request/response lifecycle.
The Plugin
configuration can be bound directly to Route
or it can be bound to Service
or Consumer
. For the configuration of the same plugin, only one copy is valid, and the configuration selection priority is always Consumer
> Route
> Service
.
In conf/config.yaml
, you can declare which plugins are supported by the local APISIX node. This is a whitelisting mechanism. Plugins that are not in this whitelist will be automatically ignored. This feature can be used to temporarily turn off or turn on specific plugins, which is very effective in dealing with unexpected situations. If you want to add new plugins based on existing plugins, you need to copy the data of plugins
node which in conf/config-default.yaml
to the plugins
node of conf/config.yaml
.
The configuration of the plugin can be directly bound to the specified Route, or it can be bound to the Service, but the plugin configuration in Route has a higher priority.
A plugin will only be executed once in a single request, even if it is bound to multiple different objects (such as Route or Service).
The order in which plugins are run is determined by the priority of the plugin itself, for example:
local _M = {
version = 0.1,
priority = 0, -- the priority of this plugin will be 0
name = plugin_name,
schema = schema,
metadata_schema = metadata_schema,
}
The plugin configuration is submitted as part of Route or Service and placed under plugins
. It internally uses the plugin name as the hash's key to hold configuration items for different plugins.
{
...
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"count": 2,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
},
"prometheus": {}
}
}
Not all plugins have specific configuration items. For example, there is no specific configuration item under prometheus
. In this case, an empty object identifier can be used.
Script
Script
represents a script that will be executed during the HTTP
request/response life cycle.
The Script
configuration can be directly bound to the Route
.
Script
and Plugin
are mutually exclusive, and Script
is executed first. This means that after configuring Script
, the Plugin
configured on Route
will not be executed.
In theory, you can write arbitrary Lua code in Script
, or you can directly call existing plugins to reuse existing code.
Script
also has the concept of execution phase, supporting access
, header_filer
, body_filter
and log
phase. The system will automatically execute the code of the corresponding phase in the Script
script in the corresponding phase.
{
...
"script": "local _M = {} \n function _M.access(api_ctx) \n ngx.log(ngx.INFO,\"hit access phase\") \n end \nreturn _M"
}
Upstream
Upstream is a virtual host abstraction that performs load balancing on a given set of service nodes according to configuration rules. Upstream address information can be directly configured to Route
(or Service
). When Upstream has duplicates, you need to use "reference" to avoid duplication.
As shown in the image above, by creating an Upstream object and referencing it by ID in Route
, you can ensure that only the value of an object is maintained.
Upstream configuration can be directly bound to the specified Route
or it can be bound to Service
, but the configuration in Route
has a higher priority. The priority behavior here is very similar to Plugin
.
Configuration
In addition to the basic complex equalization algorithm selection, APISIX's Upstream also supports logic for upstream passive health check and retry, see the table below.
Name | Optional | Description |
---|---|---|
type | required | roundrobin supports the weight of the load, chash consistency hash, pick one of them. |
nodes | required if service_name and k8s_deployment_info not configured |
Hash table, the key of the internal element is the upstream machine address list, the format is Address + Port , where the address part can be IP or domain name, such as 192.168.1.100:80 , foo.com:80 , etc. Value is the weight of the node. In particular, when the weight value is 0 , it has a special meaning, which usually means that the upstream node is invalid and never wants to be selected. |
service_name | required if nodes and k8s_deployment_info not configured |
The name of the upstream service and used with the registry, refer to Integration service discovery registry. |
k8s_deployment_info | required if nodes and service_name not configured |
fields: namespace 、deploy_name 、service_name 、port 、backend_type , port is number, backend_type is pod or service , others is string. |
hash_on | optional | This option is only valid if the type is chash . Supported types vars (Nginx variables), header (custom header), cookie , consumer , the default value is vars . |
key | required | This option is only valid if the type is chash . Find the corresponding node id according to hash_on and key . When hash_on is set as vars , key is the required parameter, for now, it support nginx built-in variables like uri, server_name, server_addr, request_uri, remote_port, remote_addr, query_string, host, hostname, arg_*** , arg_*** is arguments in the request line, Nginx variables list. When hash_on is set as header , key is the required parameter, and header name is customized. When hash_on is set to cookie , key is the required parameter, and cookie name is customized. When hash_on is set to consumer , key does not need to be set. In this case, the key adopted by the hash algorithm is the consumer_name authenticated. If the specified hash_on and key can not fetch values, it will be fetch remote_addr by default. |
checks | optional | Configure the parameters of the health check. For details, refer to health-check. |
retries | optional | Pass the request to the next upstream using the underlying Nginx retry mechanism, the retry mechanism is enabled by default and set the number of retries according to the number of backend nodes. If retries option is explicitly set, it will override the default value. |
timeout | optional | Set the timeout for connection, sending and receiving messages. |
desc | optional | Identifies route names, usage scenarios, and more. |
labels | optional | The key/value pairs to specify attributes. |
pass_host | optional | pass pass the client request host, node not pass the client request host, using the upstream node host, rewrite rewrite host by the configured upstream_host . |
upstream_host | optional | This option is only valid if the pass_host is rewrite . |
Create an upstream object use case:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/upstreams/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"type": "roundrobin",
"k8s_deployment_info": {
"namespace": "test-namespace",
"deploy_name": "test-deploy-name",
"service_name": "test-service-name",
"backend_type": "pod",
"port": 8080
}
}'
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/upstreams/2 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"type": "chash",
"key": "remote_addr",
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:80": 1,
"foo.com:80": 2
}
}'
After the upstream object is created, it can be referenced by specific Route
or Service
, for example:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/index.html",
"upstream_id": 2
}'
For convenience, you can also directly bind the upstream address to a Route
or Service
, for example:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/index.html",
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"count": 2,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
}
},
"upstream": {
"type": "roundrobin",
"nodes": {
"39.97.63.215:80": 1
}
}
}'
Here's an example of configuring a health check:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/index.html",
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"count": 2,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
}
},
"upstream": {
"nodes": {
"39.97.63.215:80": 1
}
"type": "roundrobin",
"retries": 2,
"checks": {
"active": {
"http_path": "/status",
"host": "foo.com",
"healthy": {
"interval": 2,
"successes": 1
},
"unhealthy": {
"interval": 1,
"http_failures": 2
}
}
}
}
}'
More details can be found in Health Checking Documents.
Here are some examples of configurations using different hash_on
types:
Consumer
Create a consumer object:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/consumers -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"username": "jack",
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {
"key": "auth-jack"
}
}
}'
Create route object and enable key-auth
plugin authentication:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {}
},
"upstream": {
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1,
"127.0.0.1:1981": 1
},
"type": "chash",
"hash_on": "consumer"
},
"uri": "/server_port"
}'
Test request, the consumer_name
after authentication is passed will be used as the hash value of the load balancing hash algorithm:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/server_port -H "apikey: auth-jack"
Cookie
Create route and upstream object, hash_on
is cookie
:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/hash_on_cookie",
"upstream": {
"key": "sid",
"type ": "chash",
"hash_on ": "cookie",
"nodes ": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1,
"127.0.0.1:1981": 1
}
}
}'
The client requests with Cookie
:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hash_on_cookie -H "Cookie: sid=3c183a30cffcda1408daf1c61d47b274"
Header
Create route and upstream object, hash_on
is header
, key
is Content-Type
:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"uri": "/hash_on_header",
"upstream": {
"key": "content-type",
"type ": "chash",
"hash_on ": "header",
"nodes ": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1,
"127.0.0.1:1981": 1
}
}
}'
The client requests with header Content-Type
:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hash_on_header -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
Router
A distinguishing feature of APISIX from other API gateways is that it allows users to choose different routers to better match free services, making the best choice between performance and freedom.
Set the route that best suits your business needs in the local configuration conf/config.yaml
.
-
apisix.router.http
: HTTP Request Route。radixtree_uri
: (Default) only useuri
as the primary index. Support for full and deep prefix matching based on theradixtree
engine, see How to use router-radixtree.Absolute match
: Complete match for the givenuri
, such as/foo/bar
,/foo/glo
.Prefix match
: Use*
at the end to represent the givenuri
as a prefix match. For example,/foo*
allows matching/foo/
,/foo/a
and/foo/b
.match priority
: first try absolute match, if you can't hit absolute match, try prefix match.Any filter attribute
: Allows you to specify any Nginx built-in variable as a filter, such as URL request parameters, request headers, cookies, and so on.
radixtree_host_uri
: Usehost + uri
as the primary index (based on theradixtree
engine), matching both host and URL for the current request.
-
apisix.router.ssl
: SSL loads the matching route.radixtree_sni
: (Default) UseSNI
(Server Name Indication) as the primary index (based on the radixtree engine).
Consumer
For the API gateway, it is usually possible to identify a certain type of requester by using a domain name such as a request domain name, a client IP address, etc., and then perform plugin filtering and forward the request to the specified upstream, but sometimes the depth is insufficient.
As shown in the image above, as an API gateway, you should know who the API Consumer is, so you can configure different rules for different API Consumers.
Field | Required | Description |
---|---|---|
username | Yes | Consumer Name. |
plugins | No | The corresponding plugin configuration of the Consumer, which has the highest priority: Consumer > Route > Service. For specific plugin configurations, refer to the Plugins section. |
In APISIX, the process of identifying a Consumer is as follows:
- Authorization certification: e.g key-auth, JWT, etc.
- Get consumer_name: By authorization, you can naturally get the corresponding Consumer
id
, which is the unique identifier of the Consumer object. - Get the Plugin or Upstream information bound to the Consumer: Complete the different configurations for different Consumers.
To sum up, Consumer is a consumer of certain types of services and needs to be used in conjunction with the user authentication system.
For example, different consumers request the same API, and the gateway service corresponds to different Plugin or Upstream configurations according to the current request user information.
In addition, you can refer to the key-auth authentication authorization plugin call logic to help you further understand the Consumer concept and usage.
How to enable a specific plugin for a Consumer, you can see the following example:
# Create a Consumer, specify the authentication plugin key-auth, and enable the specific plugin limit-count
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/consumers -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"username": "jack",
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {
"key": "auth-one"
},
"limit-count": {
"count": 2,
"time_window": 60,
"rejected_code": 503,
"key": "remote_addr"
}
}
}'
# Create a Router, set routing rules and enable plugin configuration
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {}
},
"upstream": {
"nodes": {
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
},
"type": "roundrobin"
},
"uri": "/hello"
}'
# Send a test request, the first two return to normal, did not reach the speed limit threshold
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -H 'apikey: auth-one' -I
...
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -H 'apikey: auth-one' -I
...
# The third test returns 503 and the request is restricted
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -H 'apikey: auth-one' -I
HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
...
Use the consumer-restriction plug-in to restrict the access of Jack to this API.
# Add Jack to the blacklist
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/apisix/admin/routes/1 -H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' -X PUT -d '
{
"plugins": {
"key-auth": {},
"consumer-restriction": {
"blacklist": [
"jack"
]
}
},
"upstream": {
"nodes": {

},
"uri": "/hello"
}'
# Repeated tests, all return 403; Jack is forbidden to access this API
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9080/hello -H 'apikey: auth-one' -I
HTTP/1.1 403
...
Global Rule
Plugin just can be binded to Service or Route, if we want a Plugin work on all requests, how to do it?
We can register a global Plugin with GlobalRule
:
curl -X PUT \
https://{apisix_listen_address}/apisix/admin/global_rules/1 \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-API-KEY: edd1c9f034335f136f87ad84b625c8f1' \
-d '{
"plugins": {
"limit-count": {
"time_window": 60,
"policy": "local",
"count": 2,
"key": "remote_addr",
"rejected_code": 503
}
}
}'
Now, the limit-count
plugin will work on all requests
we can list all GlobalRule
via admin api as below:
curl https://{apisix_listen_address}/apisix/admin/global_rules
Debug mode
Basic Debug Mode
Enable basic debug mode just by setting apisix.enable_debug = true
in conf/config.yaml
file.
e.g Using both limit-conn
and limit-count
plugins for a /hello
request, there will have a response header called Apisix-Plugins: limit-conn, limit-count
.
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:1984/hello -i
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Apisix-Plugins: limit-conn, limit-count
X-RateLimit-Limit: 2
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 1
Server: openresty
hello world
If the information can be delivered via HTTP response header, for example, the plugin is in stream
subsystem, the information will be logged in the error log with warn
level.
Advanced Debug Mode
Enable advanced debug mode by modifying the configuration in conf/debug.yaml
file. Because there will be a check every second, only the checker reads the #END
flag, and the file would be considered as closed.
The checker would judge whether the file data changed according to the last modification time of the file. If there has any change, reload it. If there was no change, skip this check. So it's hot reload for enabling or disabling advanced debug mode.
Key | Optional | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
hook_conf.enable | required | Enable/Disable hook debug trace. Target module function's input arguments or returned value would be printed once this option is enabled. | false |
hook_conf.name | required | The module list name of hook which has enabled debug trace | |
hook_conf.log_level | required | Logging levels for input arguments & returned value | warn |
hook_conf.is_print_input_args | required | Enable/Disable input arguments print | true |
hook_conf.is_print_return_value | required | Enable/Disable returned value print | true |
Example:
hook_conf:
enable: false # Enable/Disable Hook Debug Trace
name: hook_phase # The Module List Name of Hook which has enabled Debug Trace
log_level: warn # Logging Levels
is_print_input_args: true # Enable/Disable Input Arguments Print
is_print_return_value: true # Enable/Disable Returned Value Print
hook_phase: # Module Function List, Name: hook_phase
apisix: # Referenced Module Name
- http_access_phase # Function Names:Array
- http_header_filter_phase
- http_body_filter_phase
- http_log_phase
#END
