request_limiter

Appropriate Vault Enterprise license required

Deprecated beta feature

Vault 1.16 included the request limiter as a Beta feature. During the beta, we found an alternative approach that better meets user needs. The request limiter has been deprecated in favor of adaptive overload protection.

The request_limiter stanza allows operators to turn on the adaptive concurrency limiter, which is off by default. This is a reloadable config.

request_limiter {
  disable = false
}

Warning This feature is still in Tech Preview. Turning the Request Limiter on may have negative effects on request success rates. Please test your workloads before turning this on in production.
