Premium Partner: This plugin is developed, tested, and maintained by Traceable.ai.
Traceable’s Kong plugin lets Traceable capture a copy of the API traffic, both request and response data, that is flowing through Kong Gateway. The plugin then forwards the data to a locally running Traceable module extension (TME).
Using this data, Traceable is able to create a security posture profile of APIs hosted on Kong Gateway. Based on its findings, the Traceable plugin can also block traffic coming from malicious actors and IPs into Kong Gateway.
The Traceable Kong Plugin requires a Traceable Platform Agent to be deployed in your environment. For complete deployment instructions of the Traceable Platform Agent, visit the traceable.ai docs site.
Once you have deployed a Traceable Platform Agent, you are ready to install the plugin using the LuaRocks package manager:
Install the Traceable plugin:
luarocks install kong-plugin-traceable
Update your loaded plugins list in Kong Gateway.
In your kong.conf, append traceable to the plugins field. Make sure the field isn’t commented out.
