/sys/quotas/config

The /sys/quotas/config endpoint is used to configure rate limit quotas.

Create or update the rate limit configuration

Parameters

• rate_limit_exempt_paths ([]string: []) - Specifies the list of exempt paths from all rate limit quotas. If empty no paths will be exempt.
• enable_rate_limit_audit_logging (bool: false) - If set, starts audit logging of requests that get rejected due to rate limit quota rule violations.
• enable_rate_limit_response_headers (bool: false) - If set, additional rate limit quota HTTP headers will be added to responses. These include:
  • Retry-After: If the request is blocked due to rate limiting, this will be a suggested time, in seconds, to wait before retry after. The time suggested will be the amount of time in seconds remaining before the rate limit quota applicable to this request is reset. Identical to the X-Ratelimit-Reset header.
  • X-Ratelimit-Limit: The limit of the rate limit quota applicable to this request.
  • X-Ratelimit-Remaining: The remaining requests in the current interval for the rate limit quota applicable to this request.
  • X-Ratelimit-Reset The amount of time in seconds remaining before the rate limit quota applicable to this request is reset. Identical to the Retry-After header.
