I am new to Kong gateway. I heard about custom plugins to create our own logics to access respective services.
I want to know how custom plugins are used if Kong was configured via database mode with Kong manager option?
hi there - you can find the documentation for how to configure custom plugins here for db backed modes (hybrid and traditional): Implementing Custom Logic - Kong Gateway | Kong Docs
in short - the plugin code itself must be mounted into Kong itself at a particular location. Once the plugins are mounted in the file system, the configuration options will be exposed in Kong Manager just like any other plugin. Hope this helps.
Hello,
As per me you have to update the kong.conf file to include your plugin in the plugins configuration and restart Kong. In Kong Manager, log in and navigate to the service or route where you want to enable the plugin.
