API healthcheck

[sergiuoltean]

Hi there, I am trying to bypass auth for spring boot actuator health check.
The rest of the api is protected with openid, I want only the health check to pass freely.
Since white_list will always go through auth I’ve read that ignored should do the trick

Using ignored, white_list and black_list

What I’m trying to achieve is to understand what ignored, white_list and black_list fields do. First of all let me say that I’ve set use_extended_paths: true. Now I’ll try to explain what I understood so far, in this way you can point me out where I’m mistaking. About ignored, as the doc says: This section will define methods and paths that will be ignored and will bypass the quota and rate limiting machinery of Tyk. If I code: "ignored": [ { "path": "/v1/ignored/with_id/{id}"…

my extended path conf is

“use_extended_paths”: true,
“extended_paths”: {
“ignored”: [{
“path”: “/commands/actuator/health”
}],
“white_list”: ,
“black_list”:
}

Now the requests goes through but it does not seems to be forwarded to my service.
I do get a 200 response but the body is empty.
Obviously I would need a response body
{
“status”: “UP”
}

Am I doing something wrong or it is not possible?

Great rubber ducking.
OK it was something wrong in my custom plugin.
It seems I now get a 401. Will continue to investigate.

Ok…it was something on my side.

In order to bypass auth all you need to do is.

       "use_extended_paths": true,
        "extended_paths": {
          "ignored": [{
            "path": "/actuator/health"
          }],
          "white_list": [],
          "black_list": []
        }`

Hope this helps someone.
