Request Termination - Plugin

Looking for the plugin's configuration parameters? You can find them in the Request Termination configuration reference doc.

This plugin terminates incoming requests with a specified status code and message. This can be used to temporarily stop traffic on a service or a route, or even block a consumer.

This plugin can also be used for debugging, as described in the echo parameter.

Once this plugin is enabled, every request (within the configured plugin scope of a service, route, consumer, or global) will be immediately terminated by sending the configured response.

Note: The Request Termination plugin will not execute if the Forward Proxy plugin is enabled. This is because the Forward Proxy plugin has a higher priority, and when it executes, the request is forwarded according to that plugin’s configuration. If you need to change this behavior, you can configure the Request Termination plugin to execute before the Forward Proxy plugin using Dynamic Plugin Ordering.

Example Use Cases

Temporarily disable a service, for example, if the service is under maintenance
Temporarily disable a route, for example, if the rest of the service is up and running, but a particular endpoint must be disabled
Temporarily disable a consumer, for example, due to excessive consumption
Block anonymous access with multiple auth plugins in a logical OR setup
Debug erroneous requests in live systems
