»/sys/quotas/rate-limit

The /sys/quotas/rate-limit endpoint is used to create, edit and delete rate limit quotas.

»Create or Update a Rate Limit Quota

This endpoint is used to create a rate limit quota with an identifier, name. A rate limit quota must include a rate value with an optional path that can either be a namespace or mount.

»Parameters

• name (string: "") - The name of the quota.
• path (string: "") - Path of the mount or namespace to apply the quota. A blank path configures a global rate limit quota. For example namespace1/ adds a quota to a full namespace, namespace1/auth/userpass adds a quota to userpass in namespace1. Updating this field on an existing quota can have "moving" effects. For example, updating auth/userpass to namespace1/auth/userpass moves this quota from being a global mount quota to a namespace specific mount quota. Note, namespaces are supported in Enterprise only.
• rate (float: 0.0) - The maximum number of requests at any given second to be allowed by the quota rule. The rate must be positive.
