RateLimiter is not working

Apart from redis connection, do we have to do anything else for a basic rate limiter to work? As I’ve been trying to create a rate limiter but it is not working as it is supposed to.

Rate limiter : RedisRateLimiter redisRateLimiter() { return new RedisRateLimiter(1, 2); }

Portion of my route: .route("redis_rate_check", r->r.path("/redisrate") .and().method(HttpMethod.GET) .filters(f -> f.requestRateLimiter(rate -> rate .setRateLimiter(redisRateLimiter())) ) .uri("http://localhost:9081/rate"))

@jayendra155 never tested using code configuration, but I guess you need a KeyResolver somewhere. I think the default one limits based on the Principal authentified. Maybe that is your problem.

@stevenNzonzi Rate limiter configuration doesnt work using shortcut form (see #167 ). Here is 2 working configuration:

Using a rate limiter bean:

filters:
- name: RequestRateLimiter
  args:
    key-resolver: "#{@myKeyResolver}"
    rate-limiter: "#{@myRateLimiter}"

Hardcoding the configuration:

filters:
- name: RequestRateLimiter
  args:
    key-resolver: "#{@myKeyResolver}"
    redis-rate-limiter.replenishRate: 1
    redis-rate-limiter.burstCapacity: 5

I would like to know that too, whenever I use the rate limiter, my test endpoint returns a blank body with a 200 ok. This is the bean that I created, nothing special,

@Bean
KeyResolver testKeyResolver() {
    return exchange -> Mono.just(exchange.getRequest().getQueryParams().getFirst("test"));
}

And this is my config file,

spring:
  cloud:
    gateway:
      routes:
      - id: redirectRoute
        uri: http://localhost:9081/getname
        predicates:
        - Path=/path
        filters:
        - RequestRateLimiter=100, 100, #{@testKeyResolver}
      - id: HeaderMatching
        uri: http://localhost:9080/world
        predicates:
        - Path=/header
        - Header=X-Request-Id, \d+
      - id: HystrixExample
        uri: http://localhost:9081/getname
        predicates:
        - Path=/checkfallback
        filters:
        - name: Hystrix
          args:
            name: fallbackcmd
            fallbackUri: forward:/world
      - id: MethodMatching
        uri: http://localhost:9080/world
        predicates:
        - Path=/post
        - Method=POST

This is the log I get in DEBUG mode
