Skip Records

Skip processing a record based on a condition

Skip processing a record if it meets a specific condition.

In the following example, if a record’s topic name ends with my_suffix, the record will be skipped, and no other policies will be applied to it.

Set up the policy

curl -X POST https://{region}.api.konghq.com/v1/event-gateways/{eventGatewayId}/virtual-clusters/{virtualClusterId}/consume-policies \
    --header "accept: application/json" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $KONNECT_TOKEN" \
    --data '
    {
      "name": "skip-record-based-on-condition",
      "type": "skip_record",
      "condition": "context.topic.name.endsWith(\"my_suffix\")"
    }
    '
